Meet Modern Lite Brite: All you loved as a child made even better!

A sponsored review by Jennifer Chasse

Do you remember Lite Brite? I used to enjoy using mine in the dark, making those little glowing pieces all the more exciting.  It was a toy, a night light, a decoration and more.  That was 30+ years ago, but Lite Brite remains a toy that delights children, and the latest version even makes it a portable toy.  

Lite Brite allows you to create all sorts of designs using plastic pegs that are inserted into a screen. You'll find the traditional shaped pegs you remember from your childhood, plus new options such as squares, animal shapes and more. You can create your own designs, or follow the reusable  templates to to build specific designs.  This is a fun toy for children of all ages,  and I can think of some creative adults who might like to find this under the tree as well!

The new design includes a  magic” screen that blocks the lite, a big improvement over the black paper past versions needed to work.  It also has a box to keep the pegs in  that attached to the screen for easy storage and travel. There are even multiple light effects that you can choose just by pressing a button!
