WHAT YOU NEED:
Push Lights:
I purchased these at Walmart in a pack of 4 for $4.00. I bought 3 packs and they do NOT come with batteries. Each light requires 3 AA batteries. They also have push lights at Dollar Tree.
Dry Erase Markers:
I used a dry erase marker to write on the push lights. This wipes off very easily.
The options are endless! Here are a few ways we used the push lights to play!
Sight Words/Spelling Words
Name Recognition: Lights Off
Name Recognition: Lights On!
Number Recognition
Letter Recognition
Number Recognition
Addition/Subtraction
Emotions
It was getting close to bed time so I created some emotions and asked my daughter how she felt. She lit up the tired face and then drew her own tired face as you can see below! LOL
Tired face by my 4 year old.

If the dry erase marker wipes off easily, is it likely to wipe off when the light is pressed on? This would become frustrating (having to re-write all the time) and messy (ink on the hands). If it doesn’t wipe off that easily what do you use to wipe it off when you want to change what you’ve written?
