Lite-Brite Cube
Sometimes tinkering with classic toys only serves to ruin what was so great about the toy in the first place. But once in a while, an adaptation is made that retains the fun spirit of the original item while simultaneously improving it considerably. Whereas the original Lite Brite had only one panel in which to place colored pegs, this version has four sides, letting up to four kids create at once, or one kid to have multiple projects going at any particular time. There are over 400 pegs included along with eight picture design sheets and two freeform blanks. There’s also a special bonus Lite Brite travel version for taking that illuminated fun on the road.--Charlie Williams
