This is exactly what I have been searching for! Thanks for making something so organized and easy to use. I have found it impossible to Google ideas from a million different sites, get organized, shop for supplies, etc. It is so easy to just put up the calendar, and glance at it for inspiration when we are in a funk." - The Activity Room Member, Rachel
"I absolutely love that this takes all the prep work out of engaging my children. Fun and easy ones that can be put together in a moment's notice! You're awesome Jamie and I appreciate you sharing your activities and ideas!! - Melissa C. I am so grateful to have activities handed to us. There's always something new for us to discover, as well as old favorites. How would you use a light table with your kiddo? It’s so worth the little bit of effort and gives them a great change of pace in their playtime. They have been combining everything to make intricate designs and pictures.Īll three of them also love just playing with their dolls and action figures on the table as well. Recently, my older two have been using them to build other shapes. You use simple shapes to build every upper and lower case letter. They are a little tricky still for Hannah, but my 6 and 8 year old love them. We also have these really cool letter construction shapes for the light table. However, right after we bought them I dropped them on the concrete floor in our basement and several of them broke. My 8-year-old loves inspecting them and noticing all the tiny details. The original idea when I bought these was for some science exploration, and we do use them for that. The last thing I got out for Hannah was these really pretty rock slices.
Note: please keep a close eye on little ones with these because they are nicely mouth-sized. The chips we used are on the smaller side so manipulating them is a little bit of bonus fine motor work! Hannah started with a pile of the colorful bingo chips and sorted them by color. We talked about each shape and color as she was matching. I set up some shapes on the table and then had her make matches. You can also go super simple and still really fun, like this tracing activity. You can use clear objects around the house or buy some new items. Hannah hadn’t used the light table in a while, so I kept it simple so she could really explore. You can try things that require a little bit of prep but are super cool, like this making faces activity. There are tons of ways to play with your light table. It’s also just really pretty! Endless Fun with Your DIY Light Table: The tissue paper diffuses the light to make it easier on little eyes. My storage bin happened to have a gap at the handle so I just snaked the plug out the handle, plugged it in and we were ready to go! Then I taped white tissue paper to the inside of the lid. I filled it with a few strings of white holiday lights. There are lots of ways to make your own DIY light table, and about a zillion things to do with it.Ĭheck out these other light box ideas, too!įor ours, I used a translucent under-the-bed storage bin. We actually made this for the first time about 4 years ago, and it definitely needed a little refreshing! We made our very own DIY light table, and it really couldn’t be easier. This is one of my very favorite things we have ever done – and my kids love it too!
