{Sticky Flowers} Light Table Activities for Kids

Family Time

If you’re new to Happily Ever Mom, you may not know that we love light table activities for kids.

We’ve experimented with different light table activities over the years, but we’re always finding new ways to learn and to play!  Part of that is because we have amazing friends who love to learn with light table activities, too.  And, today at the Light and Reflections Series, we’re experimenting with flowers!

Easy light table activity that has gorgeous results ~ so pretty!

The sweetest thing that I’ve seen in a while was when my husband got home from work while we were making our sticky flower activity.  He walked over to my husband, held his hand, and *attempted* to tell him about our flower project.

He pointed to the pedals and said, “b-ue” (blue), “ur-ple” (purple), and he named other colors, too.

It was priceless.

I love that a simple activity that takes minutes to set up can turn into such a fun learning experience for little ones!

What You Need for {Sticky Flowers} Light Table Activities

  • Light Table <— aff link to our favorite light panel!
  • Flower pedals – we picked flowers around our yard.
  • Contact Paper

Quick flower activity on the light table that is great for toddlers, too!

We made our first sticky light table around Valentine’s day.

It was a fun new way to use our light table, but I love how this flower version allows kids to study the anatomy of flowers, too.  The light shining through offers a whole new way to study plants (plus, it’s gorgeous!).

How to Make {Sticky Flowers} Light Table Activities

  1. Stretch contact paper over your light table with the sticky side up.
  2. Tape down the edges.  I use painters tape.  Make sure it’s nice and tight so that the contact paper doesn’t roll up.
  3. Let kids add flower pedals!

Tip: Don’t put out a huge bowl of flower pedals (like I did…) ~ kids will probably just dump them out and the activity will be over. Try scattering the flowers around the edge of the table so that they can pick and choose what they want to put on the sticky light table.

Quick light table activity

Gorgeous light table activities for kids all with flowers!

The results are gorgeous, don’t you think?

Add another sheet of contact paper to the top to hang in your window or to use as your child’s placemat!
