It’s the perfect product to sharpen your children’s minds through learning with exciting learning games. Super slim Illumination light tablet by Jonti Craft opens up a new world for curious minds. You can use this tablet as a tracing table or with Legos or Prism Bricks. This tablet over the top makes it multifunctional. Have fun with this project! Build a fort! Sit in the dark with your kids and play on the light table.This table is ideal for kids to get creative, and at the same time, you would save a lot of classroom space. I will be doing more light table posts in the future (more ways to make them, on a budget, where to get the items that go on the light table). If you do decide to make your own light table, please send us photos so we can post! I would love to see them. I think you would be hard-pressed to find a light table that meets all that criteria. But think about this: For $45 you can make a light table that takes no real handyman skills, that seats up to six kids, that’s portable. You may not need that much space, which will cut down on the price of lights and storage bin. I like to watch their creativity blossom.Īlso remember you can probably make yours cheaper than mine (I already had all the fun stuff for the kids to use on the light board), but I spent right at $45 for my light table for six children. The children are really getting into making their own designs with the different manipulatives we have for the light table. This hasn’t been a problem for us - the kids are so excited to use the table and see the stuff on the light table, none of the children has even tried to put something in their mouths. Remember, however, the manipulatives can be pretty small, so for young children who like to put things in their mouths, you really need to watch them carefully. I like using the LED lights because they plug in, and they don’t get hot so that’s one thing you don’t have to worry about. This has provided so much entertainment/fun for my classes. You could probably use Velcro if you wanted to get the puck lights to stay put. I didn’t do that because I wanted to be able to reuse the bin and the lights for something else if I wanted later down the road. If you want you can attach the lights to the bottom of the storage bin any number of ways. Once you feed the cord through, plug in the lights and turn on the switch to make sure everything works okay. I put mine in the middle, on the side of the bin.Ĥ. Using your drill and bi-metal hole saw, drill a circle in the storage bin so you can feed the cord through and plug it in easily. Connect your lights, allowing them to be spread out a little bit so the light is dispersed evenly in the storage bin (above).ģ. Make sure you get all four sides and floor of the container. This help keep the light inside and reflects to make the white “table top” brighter. Line your shallow storage bin with the foil.I already had the hole drilled for my bin when this photo was taken but I wanted to show you what I had done up to that point. These lights are great because they will connect to each other if you need all three, but you may only need one or two depending on the size of you bin. I also bought my puck lights at Lowe’s for about $24, I think for a set of 3. ![]() The best part is you can store all the stuff you use for the light table inside the container. What I like about my bin is that the lid is divided into two sections and you can lift each side independently. I wanted it to be big enough that six children could sit at it comfortably but small enough that it would be easy to cart around. I got a very large bin (found mine at Lowe’s for $20, but it was long and on wheels). bi-metal hole saw (about 1.5 inches hole - big enough to get the cord through).printables with shapes (optional, I found some sheets online and printed them out - they had all kinds of designs and patterns with small circles and the children could use those as a guide with a sheet protector and cover with beads and gems if they didn’t want to make something on their own).glass beads and transparent shapes, gems (any items that are transparent that would be cool on the light table).tin foil (I used Heavy Duty Reynolds Wrap, but I think any kind will do). ![]()
