One large plastic bin with clear lid
Frost paint
Silver metallic paint
Two long fluorescent lights w/batteries (12 inch)
Two short fluorescent lights w/batteries (6 inch)
Opaque folders to be cut for objects
Heavy duty self-stick velcro

Put light bulbs in the bottom of the box – the 12 inch ones go on the long side and the 6 inch ones go on
the short sides. (These are battery operated- but we did secure them so they stayed in place using selfsticking Velcro.)

shapes.
It’s ready for play:
