DIY Light Table

Here are some photos of the light table I made for my daughter. 

I just used a shallow, frosted plastic tub and white Christmas lights.

The tub I used had a lid that I could turn over and insert upside down forming a tray instead of a flat service.  It really helps to keep the mess down.

Here is a photo of it lite up.  I have recently lined the box with white paper to help distribute

 the light more evenly.

I will be adding lots of light table activities under the Light Play tab.  I'm always searching for new things so add any of your own ideas or blog links in the comments.
