Remember the Lite Brite?  |
|
I was thinking of my mom yesterday and recalling some of the things she used to enjoy so much. One of those things just happened to be the Lite Brite. It was during the early 80s that she first gave me one because she knew that I liked to do creative things. I quickly became just as fascinated with the Lite Brite as she was. For those of you who may not be familiar with the toy, it consisted of a backlighted sort of platform to which you secured black background paper. It came with lots of multi-colored little plastic pegs that you would insert into the background to create different pictures. My mother and I would spend hours working with our Lite Brite sets and having the time of our lives.

4. asuniqueasyou (241) | 7 months ago | oh I loved the original lite brite. today's version is so different. Remember the paper was pretty much one time use. now that is not an issue. they have made so many upgrades to it, but I love it the way it was. There were some really great games in the 80s

6. CheshireKat (433) | 7 months ago | I loved the Lite Brite. I think the one I had by the time I got it didn't have any more of the papers/designs to put in, but I still loved writing things on it/with it, drawing random things or nothing at all. One of my favorite things to do was just fill it with colors in different patterns, so there weren't any holes left.:D I found a bag of the pegs a while back in storage, and it took me a minute to remember what they were. haha.

9. Modestah (7428) | 7 months ago | oh yes I do remember the light bright - that is one classic that is still going strong exciting children today... I got my first one from a thrift shop for .75 cents back in the mid 70s, I loved that thing and kept it many years. My daughter received one when she was 8 and played with it till she was 10 I am sure her little sister will inherit it soon enough.

10. desertdarlene (5652) | 7 months ago | Oh, yes, I definitely remember that back in the '70s. We used to get a whole bunch of patterns as well as some blanks to play with. It was such a simple toy that was pretty fun. Eventually, though, I would lose too many of a certain color to do all the patterns.
