Gift Ideas for Preschool ~ Light Tables and Screens

Here is a great list of some of the best light tables we have ever come across. Personally, we’ve used a couple of them (#1 and #4).

We are excited to have access to the Childcraft light table regularly and just LOVE it!

I know that it can be something that will require space planning and a bit of an expense, but I am telling you: once you have it, you will be SO GLAD you got it.

There are some space-saving options listed, too. These are also wonderful to use and then put away when you need table space. I also wanted to point out that light tables are not just for preschool kids.

This is a resource that will grow with your children and that they will enjoy using for years especially if you gift it along with some of these great Preschool light table activities.

Let’s get to some of the awesome light table activities for preschoolers that my kids enjoy!

One of the best Preschool light table activities are the color-mixing ones.

Oh! We have done many of these before, but when we used the light table for color-mixing activities for the first time, wow, it made all the difference.

This is one of my children’s favorite set of activities. I think your children will enjoy them, too.

Gift Ideas for Preschool ~ Engineering

Have you heard of STEM activities? You can most definitely make them more fun using a light table.

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. STEM light table activities for preschool kids and older are the best.

There are many engineering toys for kids who love to build that are worth looking into because they teach more than just play. We love engineering toys.

My son personally enjoys these magnetic tiles to build and create. The possibilities are, literally, endless with these educational games!

Preschool Light Table Activities ~ Geometry

Finally, our favorite one is here! Don’t forget that geometry can also be fun as light table activities for preschoolers!

They will love just exploring with the shapes, the colors and their stacking abilities, but they will also enjoy learning the names of the shapes and learning about tangrams and so much more.

Look at the see-through Legos! My children don’t get enough of those. Wit the geosolids, they can learn about 3D shapes, perimeter and volume.
