Easter Themed Light Table Activity for Kids
This light table activity took literally seconds to set up and was inspired by this this Easter invitation using plastic eggs and buttons from My Nearest and Dearest. Here's what you'll need, in addition to a light table:
Playing at the Light Table with Plastic Eggs & Buttons
K likes to play with buttons. And by that I mean he likes to dump them on the floor, scoop them up, and dump them again and again. He also likes to open and close plastic Easter eggs or make pretend soup with them in his play kitchen. Therefore, I was not surprised to see that K adored this activity. He happily scooped the buttons into the eggs over and over. K also liked to shake the eggs once he filled them with buttons.
And clearly I did not wipe K's face after eating toast and peanut butter. Did you notice the remnants of his breakfast on his cheeks?
J enjoyed this activity as well, but not to the same extent as K. He happily filled the eggs with buttons for a little bit before moving on to color sorting.
The buttons and eggs that I set out just happened to match so it was a perfect way to work on color sorting.
That's it! A simple, engaging light table activity that's perfect for Easter (or any time really).
