What's in the box: Light Table





Here is the "box":


Before the action~
We make an anchor chart:

this was on my whiteboard, but I usually make it on a half-sized chart paper.



In action:
I laminated die-cut hearts and wrote with a Sharpie.
The hearts are from Dollar Tree.


These are see-through letters-
I needed my Pampered Chef nylon knife to separate them lol


Glass marbles and plastic jewels Dollar Tree.


Blue, white, clear, and frosted glass beads
Red and clear marbles




Cup building

Here are the shapes I made from Dollar Tree
binder dividers



Red, green, white glass beads sort.
Green and red sticks WalMart
I covered the bottom with those binder dividers.



Glass beads and some plastic ones too. 




Ice cubes from Dollar Tree

Clear pink and red hearts
Pill containers to sort pony beads

I have seen them at Walmart in the pet section- but they are really expensive!
