When I was little, before my sister was born, my mom worked nights so it was just me and my dad and one of the activities we always did together was Lite-Brite. We’d probably do a new one once a week – I think I was one of the few kids whose parents actually went and bought refill pages for LOL. God I miss those days. Nowadays he just gets on my case about my student loan payments being late and wondering when I’m going to move out :*(

Omg, i still have mine and i still take it out time to time to play with it even though the pictures are wore out on some, still so fun and kinda therapeutic to sit down and do.

I loved my lite Bright. I used to chew on the colorful little pegs- they looked like candy. Jeez I was a stupid kid.

I alwayas wanted one for Christmas, but never got this. For some strange reason my mom finally got my one in high school. (Sometime between 1999-2002.) My boyfriend convinced me to get rid of it last July. Sigh…

We moved around a lot when I was little, but I remember finding those Lite-Brite pegs in with my stuff long after I got rid of the actual device, lol!

I got one for Hannukah when I was 7. Although my family had a tradition of opening one present each night then opening all the rest on the 8th night, the night I got my Lite-Brite was the absolute best for me. I’d be entertained by it for hours on end. When I ran out of the pre-made picture sheets, I’d make my own pictures with sheets of black construction paper. Loved it!!!

They had one at my elementary school. The bulb burned out one day and unfortunately it wasn’t a standard light bulb so we had trouble finding the right type.

My younger brother had to go to the urgent care center b/c managed to get a lite-brite peg stuck up his nose.

It was a green one.

Oh wow. I got a package with Muppet Babies pictures for the lite-brite. Good times. I was lucky, each of my brothers had owned one, so I got twice the pegs. And my mother, in a fit of OCD, saved baby food jars for each of the colors to be stored in. I sat there for hours in the faint rainbow glow.

No Salon for us. My sis and I begged for the Paradise Estate, but we never got it. I was always truly surprised my parents never got it for us. We dropped plenty of obvious hints.
She and I saved a huge bin with all of our Pony stuff in it. I’m the only one who had girls and they’re getting the big box for Christmas.
Inside is tons of ponies, clothes and brushes, the Baby Block Nursury, the pink Castle, the Shoe Ice Cream Parlor, and the Bonnet Dance Studio.
I can’t wait to see their faces when they open it!!!!

I was accused of sticking one of those up my brother’s nose….but I swear he put it there himself.

Aww, glow worm. Mine stopped glowing about 20 years ago so it didn’t get hand-me-downed like most of my things when I was a kid, but it was one my favorite toys!

I’m afraid of the dark because of one of these and my two cousins. When I was like..2 or 3 we were in the bedroom playing with one and of course lights out…they unplugged the lite brite and knocked me off the bed..i hit something…they wouldn’t admit to doing it and after that i was always afraid something was in there going to get me again….now i know its them…but its scarred in my brain and each time i go out in the dark by myself i have to have a flashlight or someone with me…

Oh my god. I never had one myself, but every time I went to my papas I’d play with my dads old one and the old Lego that was still in his room from 40+ years ago. Man this brings back awesome memories.

Oh my God, I so loved my Lite-Brite when I was a kid… I’d keep the little pegs in a cup or something and have so much fun messing with it… but always be really careful with the patterns. Haha, I do know they got a bit harder to use the second time around, but I did get to reuse some of the nicer patterns.

I used to know where it was… This almost makes me wanna dig mine out if I can find it just for the hell of it.

Oh gawd yes – I had one. My mom hated it – was always vacuuming up a peg and making her stop and clean the hoover out….LOL I loved it!!!!!

LOVED my Lite Bright!! I think Mom was finding those damn pegs 19 years after i moved out!! LOL They could always be found in the couch cushions, in the vents.. sometimes in a nostril.. ahhhh the good ol’ days when we didnt know about choking hazards.. who else has been gagged by a FisherPrice “Little People” circa 1974???

Actually what you stated earlier was Lite-BRIGHT, which is also wrong. You got it wrong earlier, all while flipping out about how much fail it was that someone else got it wrong. You didn’t help, you got picky and got it wrong while getting picky, which is a beautiful illustration of irony.

I had gotten one of these for my stepson a couple years ago i found at a garage sale woohooo!!!

But damn. I forgot how you ALWAYS seem to run out of the dotted paper.

And yea, it was one of the newer ones, with the little peg-holder in front? Using the peg-holder doesn’t last long…

By: mamajinx

The new ones are soooo disappointing. They just don’t work, the pegs don’t stay in, the screen is too small.

My thumbs always hurt after playing with mine, all that pushing the pegs in would make my thumb sore for days

By: TC

Yup they do but it’s not the same

Hard to explain all the changes but it is NOT what it was like when I was little

Lol I think I’m the only one here who’s parent’s asked if they wanted santa to bring them a lite-brite, said no, but still received it anyway, and didn’t play with it because they didn’t want it to begin with, and all the pegs ended up lost and thrown away because mom stepped on them sticking out of the carpet.

I dunno, it just didn’t float my boat when I was little. My brother and dad got more use out of it than I did lol.

clearly i must have gotten my facts right because about an hour or so after i posted this comment the editor changed the title to the correct name which i stated earlier: LITE-BRITE which is different than i pointed out he had, which was light-bright, glad i could help,

The only epic win Litebrite ever had was on January 31st, 2007 when a DIY
Lite Brite shut down the city of Boston

I had one of these when I was little. I remember the lightbulb inside it melted the plastic in the center of the board along with the little colorful pegs that were in the nearby area. I was so sad…
