The possibilities for playing and learning with a light table are endless! Keep reading for a list of favorite tools and toys to use on your light table. I feel ya friend.The light table has quickly become one of the most popular “must-have” centers in today’s preschool classrooms. So give it a try and tell me what you think! Or think about it, contemplate it, and then come back to me in a few years …. Lots of calming, quiet play is heading our way. I am so happy with the results, and even more happy that my little Ben is drawn to it. These work great for building pictures and doing some colour blending. I also found some file folders that were made of that thin, see-through coloured plastic and cut out various shapes. We have been using small glass jewels from the dollarstore for lots of loose parts play lately. I actually used the Gorilla Tape (which is my new go-to for anything tough to secure).Īfter, I taped a strand of Christmas lights all around the middle of the Rubbermaid container like a spider web, and secured it with that Gorilla Tape.įinally, I painted the underside of the lid with a thin coat of white acrylic paint. Next, I lined the interior of the container with tin foil – the bottom and the sides, and secured with clear packing tape. This was in fact the only purchase I made – hence the $15 cost. I ended up buying a clear Rubbermaid container with a clear lid. Super easy, super inexpensive, and it couldn’t work better. In the end, I am thrilled with how our Light Table turned out. Tinkerlab’s tutorial was really good, but I did a little modifying. I read quite a few tutorials over the years:Īnd Next Comes L has SO many cool activities to do on the light table, and a great tutorial – but I wanted super simple YEARS of contemplating - tons of time dreaming about the activities we could do - and it all took a grand total of 10 minutes. So I made one -and it is! All the time! And it took me …. The knowledge that it would actually be used. THAT was just the push I needed to finally make one. So my light table dreams were pushed aside a little more.īut this year, Benjamin has one in his preschool room and is drawn to it like a moth! Last year Sammy had a light table in his kindergarten room, but wasn’t really drawn to it. I am not sure why I wasn’t making it, really – they look so cool – and I found some super easy tutorials online too.īut for years we remained a light table-less family.
I had been thinking about making a DIY light table for years.
