While I was finishing our homemade light bright tabletop, inspiration struck. I thought, wow, wouldn't it be cool to use the light bright table as a geoboard? So of course, we had to try out my idea and boy, oh boy, was it fun! Sensory play and fine motor work all rolled into one! This light bright geoboard is a certainly a unique fine motor activity for kids, one that your kids will request to try over and over again.

How to Make a Light Bright Geoboard for Kids

To make the geoboard, I formed a grid using light bright pegs. I simply put a light bright peg in every other hole. As you can see, the geoboard ended up being pretty large as our light bright tabletop is pretty huge. However, you could try setting up a geoboard on a flatscreen lite brite to achieve the same effect. Here's the number one that J and I made together.

I laid out some rubber bands and let the boys play. And as you can see, the boys worked their fine motor skills by stretching the rubber bands around the light bright pegs.
