I was thrilled when Bridge Direct sent me a "current' Lite Brite to check out for our Hot Holiday Toy party! First, it's not the Lite Brite I remember. It's COOLER!
From the Bridge Direct Lite Brite webpage:

•Available: Toys R Us, Target and Walmart ( and your local Learning Express Stores!)
It's smaller. More portable. It doesn't have a huge fiery lightbulb and it has the ability to DO COOL THINGS!
It has reusable templates that no longer require "paper!?." Say WHAT?!
The background is almost "self healing" like and it came with pegs and shapes as well as a handy dandy closed container already pre-attached! The pegs can be stored in this!
The light was also super cool. When you push the button once, it's a solid light. If you hit the button again it showcases a patterned light. We used this feature to make ours say "Let It Go..." and then the icicles light up as if they were flowing across the screen.
This went with our "Frozen" theme of our Hot Holiday Toy Party! It was a HUGE hit and everyone was wowed.
We had our guests look through the templates and hold up their favorite for a snapshot!
You can add Lite Brite back into your life this holiday season! Your kids will love this classic turned modern! For more information you can visit the Bridge Direct website or the Bridge Direct facebook page!
