Easy Light Table

The original table I remembered looking at used a sting of Christmas lights. The cashier at Dollar General (love that place!)  So, I grabbed some push lights with adhesive backs instead:

The instructions said to line the bottom of a plastic storage bin with wax paper- I used two layers: 

Now- turn the lights on and place the bin on top of the lid, like this: 

Pour salt, sugar, sand or Pixie Sticks if you dare onto the 'table' surface~ add translucent items that light can shine through: 

Suffice it to say, this activity is best played with on a surface that is easily swept  or perhaps atop a vinyl tablecloth.
