Fun with mosaics on the light table...

The invitation to play was simple: I drew shapes on the top of the light table with window crayons and set out some shapes to see what the kids would do with them.

The youngest tots had fun dumping, sorting and looking at colors....

Some children sorted according to shape by filling in the triangles with triangles 

Squares with squares...

They lined them up in random sequence on the shapes that were not represented in the color tiles and counted them

Or they sorted the tiles according to corresponding shapes and positioned them along the lines to make squares and triangles.
