Thank you first though for your ideas for light table play, both in the blog comments and on facebook! I can’t wait to give those a try with my kids!
As I mentioned yesterday, our light table is a super easy DIY version (a clear plastic storage box with white Christmas lights!), and we’ve only had it for about a month.
That said, here’s what we’ve tried so far:
Note: When I finally decided to make the light table, I placed an order with Discount School Supply for some things I thought would be fun to try on the light table, so these items are all from there, although some you might be able to find elsewhere.
Light Table Toys and Tools
Letter Jewels
Building Brilliance Magnetic Shapes
I think a library book with animal X-rays would be plenty for our family and am going to see if our library has Amazing X-Rays: Wild Animals by Jacqueline A. Ball.
I’ll probably offer this x-ray set I bought to one of my daughters’ teachers…
Mag Chips
However, while these translucent legos look great, my kids got frustrated with them quickly, saying they didn’t stick together well the way their other legos did.
Oh well.
Plus the Translucent Mosaic Tiles
Any light table toys or tools you would add to this list? Either products or ideas to try out on the table? Or those you’ve tried but would recommend others take a pass on?
