We do a lot of open ended play on the light table, but sometimes I also like to use our light table as a way to learn practical life skills. So here's a simple light table activity to teach kids how to set the table.
Montessori-Inspired Light Table Activity to Teach Kids How to Set the Table
For this light table activity, I used:
- Clear plastic cutlery - fork, knife, and spoon
- Clear plastic plate
- Clear overhead transparency film
- Black permanent marker
To set up this activity, all I had to do was trace all of the cutlery and the plate onto the transparency using a permanent marker.
Naturally, you need to put food on the plate once the table is fully set. Here the boys added some of their felt play food.
K even took the opportunity to practice some fine motor skills by cutting up his felt ravioli.
Then J added some of our plastic play food. I love how it just glows on the light table!
