Description
Remember with the colored mini "bulbs" that fit into the holes. It also had the black paper which had the design to follow - by putting the "bulbs" where it instructed you to! A holdover from the 70s.

Whenever my sister and I ran out of pattern sheets or we were bored of them we would make our own patterns with black paper.
Unfortunately, after you did the patter once you couldn't really tell what colors were supposed to go where because the paper was poked through.
Loved Lite Brite! I remember making a turkey and displaying it for everyone on a TVstand for thanksgiving one year!
I could never get all the way through a picture because of lack of patience and also the pegs hurting my fingers after awhile.
I'ma 90s baby. But I played with most of these toys in my time. But the Lite Brite was an all-time favorite. Heck, I cried for the thing for Christmas when I was 3!!!
I wanted one forever and my mom wouldn't buy it. She said I'd lose the little pegs all over the place. Then my grandma bought it for me. And I did lose the pegs, but I also had lots of fun making pictures. LOL. They still sell these!
Lite Brite Lite Brite, turn on the magic of shining lights!
My dad used to work at Woolworth's and would bring me the refill pack of the paper inserts like every other week! I just stepped on one of the pegs about a year ago when my mom was moving out of the house we had!
Hey, where could I buy about a dozon of these? I have an idea for a animation that would involve these. Thanks
Lite Brite was great, those pegs were always all over though lol.
Hey my 9 yr old has a lite brite and we are looking for turkey pattern any ideas?
we had one and no one ever replaced the lightbulb in it for us (could you even do that?) So I remember banging on it when it flickered to get the light to stay on.
Ah! Loved it! For some reason, though, my parents never let me play with it too often. Don't know why.
I always wanted one but my mom didn't want me to have one...I think she was afraid I would electricute myself.
Went through three light bulbs with the thing I had so much fun with it. I still see the original and knock-offs in hobby and toy shops.
