You can see a discovery box we made using these same neon cups in this activity. This project on the Light Table is a great way to put your DIY skill to the test. Science & discovery: exploring the effect of light on coloured objects Building a light table is a fun and educational activity for kids. Motor skills: stacking, rolling, constructing Literacy: recognising and naming graphemes, recognising and sounding out phoniness, matching phonemes to graphemes, making own name, sounding out small words, sight word recognition And just like any other high-quality light table, this also has adjustable brightness that we can set according to our needs. Or use them to write numbers on instead and put them in the right order, do small addition and subtraction proems or make numbers to represent quantities with. This would also be a great way for children to practise learning and writing their sight words by memory. Baby Bean simply enjoyed stacking, rolling, and picking them up.Ĭakie was able to make her name and then move onto starting to sound out and spell small, CVC words independently. She then looked for some letters to match the sounds that I was calling out and we turned it into a phonics I-Spy game. Pop was able to find the letters she needed to make her name and spell it out in the right order. They kept their other qualities and also had the added benefit of offering some literacy learning into the play. Then we pulled them out again recently and I simply added letters of the alphabet (and some numbers too) using a Sharpie permanent marker. Additionally, you can use it to create art, such as collages, mosaics, and build 3d structures. You can also use the light table to explore colors, patterns, and shapes. They sorted them, stacked them, explored how they looked over the light, lined them up and played with them. Compact and beautiful, these table light decorations are all you need to create a dazzling table lighting display for your festive dining table. Some of the activities that can be done with a light table include: tracing, sorting, and observing objects, such as leaves, shells, or rocks. One of the first materials we used on the box were these wonderfully bright, neon shot glasses (about £1 in the supermarket) which we had used lots in our stacking cups discovery box in the past. A perfect for all age groups which can be adapted to suit their various stages in literacy development and just used for simple, playful stacking fun!Īfter Christmas last year we made our very own light box using the simplest and easiest method known to mankind! Here’s how to make this super-simple, DIY light box. Explore the ABC in a fun, multi-sensory way using alphabet cups on the light box.
