Two Big Two Little Uses our First Look Light Table Kit!

DSC06227Our R59260 First Look Light Table Kit gives you all the materials you need to explore light and color changing properties and add a new dimension to learning in virtually all educational subjects! Two Big Two Little posted up their experiences using our kit on their very own homemade light table!

This post was made on May 15, 2012 and is entitled, “DIY Light Table.” Click on the title to visit the Two Big Two Little blog!

In the post, Tricia shows you how to make your very own homemade light table and presents some interesting points on why a light table is the IT item in your learning classroom.

For starters, kids love color. When you overlap colorful translucent materials on a lighted surface, the colors ‘mix’ to create a new color, just as they would when mixing paint colors together… except you don’t have any major clean up afterwards!

DSC06211Check out some of the materials that Tricia’s children used on their homemade light table. Everything from beads (R2183 Fancy Stringing Rings) and See Through Buttons (featured in our First Look Light Table Kit).

Caution! Twins at Play! uses our Color Diffusing Paper Leaves!

Kristen from Caution! Twins at Play! posted photos of her twins Graham and Parker painting our R2442 Color Diffusing Paper Leaves! They used liquid watercolor to color the leaves and painted onto clear plates to keep the table surface clean.  

This post, called “water color” was published on December 30, 2012. Kristen took many beautiful photos of her sons’ artworks. Check out the blog post for more images!

Here you can see twins Graham and Parker having a blast as the liquid watercolor seeps throughout the leaf cutouts.

It’s a good idea to make sure your work surfaces are covered before you start painting the leaves as the paint will inevitably seep through the bottom. Kristen mentioned that she would have liked to use this on her light panels but didn’t have the proper cover to protect it.

Look forward to our handy Light Table kits that we’re producing next year! We feature a variety of materials and resources that can assist with educational light table sessions.

Kristen is an advocate for using the light table for many educational subjects and she believes wholly in the value of presenting children with alternative learning ways. Light tables illuminate the objects that are placed on them and present a whole new perspective on objects’ appearances.

Thanks to Kristen for her post!
