Play More With Your Light Table:
- Use translucent items such as Magna-tiles, plastic bottles, wooden rainbow blocks, bingo chips and rainbow pebbles.
- Explore color and shape by placing pieces of cut up cellophane atop your table and discovering what happens when they overlap.

Why Play This Way?
This activity puts color mixing in a whole new light! Your little one will be captivated by the seemingly impossible transformation of one color to another and the ability to “unmix” their new color simply by removing a piece of cellophane. This is a wonderful way to inspire your young artist with an experiment in color that they can manipulate over and over again.
