This is an introduction to the best and most amazing light table toys! The light table toys in the photos are ones that are owned by my 4 year old twin boys. All of of these toys are a good investment and most of them can grow with your children. There is always ways to re-purpose outgrown toys in new ways, just think outside the box and be creative! You can also make your own light table toys!! Look around your house for items that are both colored and translucent, also clear and translucent can work sometimes too. You can also make light table sensory bottles! Just fill empty water bottles of various shapes and sizes, add some food coloring, and maybe even some glitter or beads.
You can see and purchase all of these light table toys and more from HERE, and also HERE, as well as HERE too!!
Many of these items can be used for counting, sorting, color matching, color blending, math, science, and pretty much any academic subject if you get creative!!
