My Project

We moved districts and not all of our light table toys made it in the move. In addition we didn’t have many options. We are taking this opportunity as a chance to improve our options so we can explore more.

Help us light up our exploration station!

The children have really enjoyed the light table in the past and I am looking forward to giving them more opportunities to explore the concept of translucent and opaque. We are asking for various items that support different learning units or developmental domains to meet this goal
