Spring Light Table Activity for the Gardening Theme

Inside: Toddlers and preschoolers will love playing with this spring light table activity. Work on the sense of touch while attaching and removing foam flowers to sticky paper!

If you’ve been a reader of my website for a while, you’ll know how much I love incorporating the light table into our activities.

The way that the light enhances color and creates object shadows is perfect for hands-on activities such as this spring collaging activity involving Con-Tact paper and flower shaped foam pieces!

Spring Light Table Activity for the Gardening Theme

Supplies:

• Con-Tact Paper
• Foam flowers (we used these and these)
• Scotch tape 
• Light table
• Tray for foam flower pieces

Set up:

Cut a piece of the Contact Paper that will fit on the top of your light table.

Remove the protective paper backing and tape it to the light table with the sticky side up.

Place the foam pieces in a tray and set on top of the light table.

Once the activity is through, you can peel the foam pieces off for future use, or apply a second piece of contact paper over top to save the collage.

This would look beautiful in the window, allowing the sun to shine through the colors!
