Light box for toddlers with opal white acrylic

Claude has crafted a fantastic light box that provides hours of enjoyment for little ones as they play with sand. By using opal white acrylic, the light spreads beautifully. This project offers children a playful and visual experience with both light and sand.

Claude: "I began by cutting the base and the side panels. I routed a 7 mm groove into the side panels, allowing the 6 mm acrylic sheet to fit perfectly. Above this groove, I created a narrow 5 mm groove in three of the side panels to slide in the lid. Additionally, I trimmed one of the short sides a little shorter, enabling the lid to fit snugly.

I then attached the two long sides and one short side to the base. Afterwards, I secured the LED fixtures onto the base plate and slid the acrylic sheet into the designated groove. Lastly, I mounted the final (and shortest) side panel. To finish, I sealed the edges around the acrylic sheet with resin."
