Remember the counting cups I made for this St. Patrick's Day activity? When I made them, I knew that they would work perfectly on the light box. So here's how we explored counting on the light box.
Materials
- Clear plastic containers, labeled with permanent markers from 1-20 - I use individual serving sized applesauce containers.
- Colored glass beads
- Light box
I set up the light box in the basement with the lights turned off and the light box turned on. I laid out the containers with numbers one to four on the light box. J knew what to do right away! He counted the correct number into each cup.

| They look so pretty on the lightbox! |
This activity turned out great and I am guessing that they will be making a regular appearance during light box play.
