Ah... the Lite Brite. I loved my Lite Brite as a kid. It was this huge box-like contraption as large as some of the smaller microwave ovens that plugged into the wall. The unit took a bulb (I swear it was a Christmas Tree bulb, or one similar) and ...

Pros: inexpensive, pretty cool.
Cons: pegs to lose!

I remember my title being the commercial for the Lite Brite back in the 1980's. Man, I have not reviewed a toy in a while! I guess because we really haven’t gotten anything new in a while. Anyway, my review will be on Lite Brite Flat Screen that ...

Pros: Flat screen design, light on a timer, battery operated, peg storage on unit
Cons: Lightbulb must be purchased through Hasbro, not sold in any store

During a recent trip to Walmart, my son and I decided to cruise the clearance aisles looking for something that we just had to have. The flat screen Lite Brite was our find. I was surprised to see the Lite Brite at all, to tell you the truth. I was ...

Pros: Great fun for the whole family.
Cons: The bulb is not sold in stores.

The need for mommy time distraction and a little nostalgia led me to the Lite Brite flat screen. I bought it for my three year old daughter, for $9.99, who loves anything that glows after the lights are out. The flat screen is a great choice for ...

Pros: Neat looking, and kids love it.

This is the type of toy that you need to be ON TOP OF YOUR CHILD the whole time they're playing with it, I felt! My husband bought it as a Christmas gift for our four year old daughter last year, and subsequently, I ended up hating it. I know she had fun, but the light pegs really don't stay put too well, even in the tray that's available. I found SO many of them around the house, and in the vacuum! It came with some neat papers that have numbers on them to help you make neat images, but once we ran out of those, I looked for them on the internet and could not find more to buy without buying the entire Light Bright again. We ended up throwing this toy away (due to so many missing pieces) in about three or four months after getting it. Sad. I prefer Magna Doodle or Aqua Doodle - much cleaner!
