Light Table 07/15/2011

This is a light table. Before Teach Preschool started talking about it I had never heard of one. The concept is the light shines on onjects from underneath, thus giving a totally new perspective.

I was disheartened when I learned that buying one would be $90.00. My husband solved the issue in less than five minutes when I explained what I wanted. -I was very excited!

We already have a sensory table. We lined one of the bins with aluminum foil and bought a thin white sheet of plexiglass. The plexiglass cost around $10.00. It is simply set on top of the bin and we have had zero problems.

Now, what do you do with it? This picture is the bin filled with water beads. I will explain that further when I have better pictures! (they are from the flower and vase section)

I went to the dollar store and bound as many transparent items as I could find.

I also am a teacher so I have many overhead manipulatives for them to play with.

This has been a huge hit with them!
