A couple of weeks ago, I made a super-cheap, super-easy light box for the Hooligans (you can see the simple DIY here).
I was initially inspired by Play at Home Mom’s fabulous light table. They have so many ideas for creative light-play, and I plan to borrow many of them, but in particular, I love the way they combine colour-play with light-play. Check out their post “Playing with Light” to see what I mean.
I love the clear, coloured blocks and objects they use, and I was kind of stumped… I raided the toyroom, our buckets and baskets, and couldn’t find anything that I thought would work in quite the same way. We have colourful tissue paper, which will be lovely, but I was looking for something with a little more “punch”.
Then, I was cleaning out a cabinet the other night and came across a pile of empty coloured cd cases.
Yesterday, we put them to the test! 
What do you think?
Brilliant idea! I know it was a different post, but I was wondering what section of Walmart you found that LED light in? I went looking for one last week, and couldn’t find anything even closely similar (although, this was a few days after Irene had left most of us without power for days and days!)
Hi Mary, we’ve had ours for so long, I don’t really remember. I would start with the camping section, and then maybe hardware? I know you can get them at Hardware stores as well, and Canadian Tire always carries them (that only helps if you’re in Canada though).
Check out the dollar store. They have pretty decent ones there as well
Wow! Love this! What a great way to make a light table even more fun!
awesome!
They sell LED lights at IKEA too
Good to know! Thanks, Sarah!
