Light panels provide a pathway to endless hours of open ended play and learning! They are a fantastic tool for enhancing sensory exploration, and to help facilitate the development of motor skills. Learning with light is a great source of visual sensory input as children are naturally drawn to light and often find the glowing light from a light panel very calming, and engaging. You can use almost any materials to add to the play with light tables. Our educators focused on literacy with translucent numbers and letters, shapes and patterns using magformers and counting teddy bears, fine motor skills by adding utensils to pick up tiny pompoms, the possibilities can be endless!
Allowing children to freely explore with these light panels and loose parts enhances their natural curiosity and exuberance.
