As the nights draw in, this is a fun activity to do in the dark! I've been meaning to make Eden a lightbox for a while now, I just couldn't figure out how I'd do it. Lightboxes can be really expensive to buy, and I've seen them for sale at £80-£100. The lightbox I've made for Eden cost just £3.50 - bargain fun! Today we experimented with various objects I found in Eden's bedroom, but I've got lots of plans for explorative play with it, particularly over these forthcoming dark winter months where more time is spent indoors.

I have been wondering how to make a cheap light box. Great idea and the kids look like they had so much fun! I am now following you on Twitter. Vicky from www.messforless.net
What a great way to celebrate the lessening of the light when winter begins!
This is great, we have been wanting to try to make our own - and how easy! Thanks
