Early childhood educators have always emphasized the importance of light exploration to young children. You might be wondering, what exactly is the light table for ?
The light table allows children to explore colors, shadow, and light. Some activities that children can do with the light table are:
a. looking and making shadows
b. exploring colors and color mixing
c. exploring how light affects color
d. drawing on transparent paper
e. doing painting activities
f. exploring the concepts of textures and shapes
g. stringing transparent beads
h.looking closely at details of natural items such as leaves, flowers
i. exploring the human body with x-rays
j. discovering illusions and reflections
In the next coming days we will be exploring the light table more. I just can't wait until our package for the light table arrives... ohhh goodie, goodie! :)
