INTRODUCING: The Ultimate Light Table Guide on Pinterest





The Ultimate Light Table Guide on Pinterest


http://www.pinterest.com/LightTableGuide/

It's no question that my blog features a lot of light table and light play activities. I was originally inspired by Play at Home Mom. Then after lots of research and even more inspiration that stemmed from my research, The Ultimate Light Table Guide was born.

When I originally released The Ultimate Light Table Guide, It consisted of three parts.
Light Tables 101, Light Table Toys 101, and The perfect DIY container Light Box. It has since then grown and now contains links and images to other awesome Light Play posts I have made over the past few years. I hope you will check it out, if you have not already seen it! ;)


Check out the Facebook group and the Pinterest!





You can email Kristen to be a collaborator on a HUGE and WONDERFUL collaborative Pinterest board entitled Light Tables, Light Boxes, Light Panels and Light Play

The board has over 150 collaborative bloggers on it already and nearly 15,000 followers!!
It is an awesome mish mash of all things light play, all in one board. It is also a featured board on the The Ultimate Light Table Guide on Pinterest.  Where as the The Ultimate Light Table Guide on Pinterest features all light table play and light play by category, Light Tables, Light Boxes, Light Panels and Light Play has everything all in one place, but only what the collaborators post which is mostly their own blog posts of light table and light play.

The Ultimate Light Table Guide on Pinterest features a lot more light table and light play pins from more blogs and more resources on the internet, including schools and even some randomly featured pics on facebook pages of various schools and Moms on facebook.

Mickey Mouse on the light table



This was a really fun project to make!!  

I laminated cello sheets and then used a Mickey Mouse punch to make a bunch of Mickey's for the light table! Graham and Parker love them!!

They are a really fun addition to our light table accessories, nice and sturdy too!

 I also laminated a few cellophane treat bags from the dollar tree and use the Mickey Mouse punch on them too.  You can see them in the pics, they are the Christmas patterned ones.

Exploring them on the light table....






Using them for counting.......


The larger Mickey's are plastic ice cubes.
 I used a dry erase marker to write the numbers on them.





Click the links under the pictures to find where to get them!
