Here is a more elaborate post on the light table I made the boys. I found instructions on Pinterest and modified them. This is the box we got. A Sterilite 50 Quart/47L. I filled it with three strands of clear Christmas lights I found in the party section at Walmart. We burned a hole in the side to slip the strand of lights out to plug in. Notice our pretty job of melting a hole haha! These are some ideas for things to go on top. We have Wonder Tubes, blocks, and empty chunky plastic test tubes which I filled with random things. Dry lavender flowers, glitter, water and one tiny pump of hand soap so it doesn't get yucky. One of the hem is filled with clear quartz rocks, one had oil (I used sweet almond) and 10 drops of food coloring, one has tinyour plastic colored balls that are usually used to decorate and texture your nails (dollar tree) they getc super staticky and stick to the sides of the tube. Another has water, chunky pieces of glitter and small glow in the dark stars, and the last one has pretty see through plastic jewels, and no water.
The test tubes, clear square building blocks, Wonder Tubes and marble maze were all purchased at Lakeshore Learning. We also have clear plastic links and bracelets that we got at the Dollar Tree. I also found colored plastic dividers used for school folders and cut them into shapes.
All three boys love it, and I will admit, it's kind of relaxing sitting in the quiet, watching them play!
