I’ve always wanted a lightbox table, but my husband hasn’t found time to make one.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I brought our container from IKEA (that I bought with this DIY lightbox in mind) and did an easy, quick DIY lightbox table that we could bring with us anywhere anytime.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

MATERIALS NEEDED:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Frosted Container\/ Box (ours is from IKEA, you can check their containers for their Trofast\/ Flisat line). You can also use glass if you’re comfortable with glass.<\/li>\n
  2. A camping lantern. You can also use your cellphone (the light would be more equally divided), but it’s not as strong as a camping lantern, so if you have a camping lantern at home, try that one first.<\/li>\n
  3. Transparent materials. You can use blocks, paper, magnetic tiles – anything transparent\/ translucent in different shapes and colors.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    HOW TO MAKE IT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    1. Turn on the lantern. Lay it sideways if the top part cannot be removed or if it’s too tall for the container you have.<\/p>\n

    2. Turn the container upside down. Cover the light.<\/p>\n

    3. Place your transparent pieces on your “table”. These attribute or pattern blocks\/ geometric solids are my choices: THIS<\/strong><\/a>, or THIS<\/strong><\/a>. For this table, you don’t need a lot of pieces, so no need to spend on those hundred++ pieces for this purpose.<\/p>\n

    4. Let your child do the rest of the work.<\/p>\n

    That’s it! What I love about this is that it’s so easy my toddler can assemble it himself. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

    NOTE: It’s best to play with this in a dark environment (might even be fun for camping!), but also good enough for just a slightly dark environment. Just make sure not to do it all night, because light can still have bad effects on our eyes! Have fun!<\/p>\n
