More Fun with the Light Box!

Since Zoya was at school when I did the light box with the little ones, she got her turn while they were napping yesterday! We've worked really hard this summer on simple consonant-vowel-consonant words and learned some word families. Here we were working on the "at" family. Zoya was sounding out the words and changing out the first letter to make new words! Love seeing her face in these pictures, working so hard to read the words! I love these little transparent colored letters. Grandma and Grandpa B got them for Zoya :) 

I gave her a pile of letters to spell her name. 

So proud of herself! 

She's learning to spell her sister's names too! 

Then we worked on some counting! 

I love our little light box and so do the girls! There are so many uses for it! 

Light Table Therapy

I love using our homemade light box for sensory play, learning, and integrating lots of therapy skills in a fun way! I blogged about our light box HERE previously. 

While Zoya was in school today (great first week by the way!) I pulled out the light box for Mila and Sofia. It kept their interest for about 40 minutes! We practiced stacking, taking turns, crossing midline, and standing and squatting to put items inside other items on top of the table. I just found some toys we had around the house that were see through, and they loved it! I enjoyed watching their faces light up with wonder while they played (and learned but didn't know it!)

This is my favorite picture, they look like baby wizards here! Their physical therapist brought this awesome light up shiny ball filled with gel and ribbons and forgot to take it with her after her last session, so we had some extra fun with it :) 

Here's a ton more pictures of our fun activity today!
