Kids LOVE bright lights and vibrant colors. When teaching preschoolers shapes, colors, letters, numbers...why not do it with LIGHT and COLOR!

We have a small, portable, table top light box at preschool that has been a recent hit with my 3 year old class.

We reinforce the concept of different shapes with the light box.

Select items for crafts on the light box.

We learn how to recognize our names, match letters, and even spell our names with the light box. Uppercase letters are refrigerator magnets and lowercase letters are water bottle caps I saved and wrote letters on with a Sharpie.

Sometimes we just have sensory fun with the light box! Here I placed a tablespoon of paint inside zip baggies and taped them to the light box...very squishy and cool!

Leaf rubbings are awesome on the light box! 
Ponies like to hang out on the light table and watch:)

There are endless ways to use light boxes and tables.
We will be tracing letters and numbers soon! 
If you have any ideas to share be sure to leave a comment and we will give it a try in the classroom!
Teachers---below are some links to Amazon to check out light boxes, light tables and accessories.
