Play Tip!
Play can be serious business as the Light Bulb & Switch demonstrates. Before trying to teach how to control lighting with a regular switch on the wall try working with this model on a table top. It can help teach that up means on and down means off as well as the fine motor skills needed to activate a regular sized switch.
