Fun with Light: shapes

  Light is so awesome! It makes even the simplest toys pop out. I've been wanting to make a light table for years, but just bought a projector for $10 and found it works great. I like it better than a light table, actually, because it shows up on the wall too!
Today we got out the projector and my toddler and preschooler tried outlining the shapes with a marker.
Here, they are sorting the shapes into colors. Then by shape and size.
Jonathan's favorite was definitely trying to color the shapes! 
This is a great way to teach shapes, fractions, colors, and so many other things! Adding a little light makes all the difference!
