I'm really wanting to get a light box for my daughters but cant decided which one would be best.
Do any of you have one that you use? Did you buy it with storage (like on of the pictures) or do you just use it on its own?
The ones im looking at are on the website below, can you give your opinions on them please??

Small one:

Carol M and I share a large lightbox we we brought in November at the NCMA conference for a very good price.

It fits on my coffee table and 4 mindees can use it together - provided happy to share.

It seems to be very robust (I only had for 2 weeks - then was Carol's turn to use) when midees dribbled on it I just wiped it dry.


Wanted one for ages - very please now have a half share in one.

What size do you have Penny? I can't decide if i should get small one or splash bigger out and get the bigger one. Id hate to get the small one and realise i should have paid a little extra and got the big one.

Can't measure as Carol has it at the moment - but it is not the smallest one . It is from reflections on learning - so the one you have marked large

I have the A3 one - I wouldn't really want any smaller than this as you can fit the squidgy sparkle numbers and letters on it smaller one would struggle to fit I think. Just found this one on ebay

I bought a A2 size one (2xA3) from ebay for £50 delivered and its very very good. Its got a pine frame surround. I lay it on a low table and the children play from all sides.

I have the last one on your list, I use it without the drawers, I put on the dining table for the older ones when the want to look at smaller things I dont want the littlies to touch. I love it, not had it out for a while, need to remedy that :rolleyes:
