A sensory light box is simply a transparent box with some fairy lights inside (the best ones are those that are battery operated as you wont have a cord hanging out of the box) and things to play with on top of the box.
Make sure you follow my sensory board on Pinteres for more ideas. Don’t forget to save the pin for later.
It has taken me close to a year to get all the things I needed for this light box. The items are not hard to come by, it is just that this project was always being put off by other ones. Today, however, I finally got around to setting this sensory activity up for my youngest charge’s quiet time. You can use any thing to play with, but the general idea is that it is something that the light will shine through. I used sticky window decorations this time around. Saying that though, you could use this activity as a way of exploring what is transparent and what is opaque.
My charge was fascinated by this light box, when she first walked into her room she didn’t seem to even notice it, but then when I turned it on, nothing could take her attention away from it. I watched her play with it over her monitor for a good 40 minutes, until sleep got the better of her.
