Whenever my sister and I ran out of pattern sheets or we were bored of them we would make our own patterns with black paper.

Unfortunately, after you did the patter once you couldn't really tell what colors were supposed to go where because the paper was poked through.

Loved Lite Brite! I remember making a turkey and displaying it for everyone on a TVstand for thanksgiving one year!

I could never get all the way through a picture because of lack of patience and also the pegs hurting my fingers after awhile.

I'ma 90s baby. But I played with most of these toys in my time. But the Lite Brite was an all-time favorite. Heck, I cried for the thing for Christmas when I was 3!!!

I wanted one forever and my mom wouldn't buy it. She said I'd lose the little pegs all over the place. Then my grandma bought it for me. And I did lose the pegs, but I also had lots of fun making pictures. LOL. They still sell these!

Lite Brite Lite Brite, turn on the magic of shining lights! My dad used to work at Woolworth's and would bring me the refill pack of the paper inserts like every other week! I just stepped on one of the pegs about a year ago when my mom was moving out of the house we had!

Hey, where could I buy about a dozon of these? I have an idea for a animation that would involve these. Thanks

Lite Brite was great, those pegs were always all over though lol.

Hey my 9 yr old has a lite brite and we are looking for turkey pattern any ideas?

we had one and no one ever replaced the lightbulb in it for us (could you even do that?) So I remember banging on it when it flickered to get the light to stay on.

Ah! Loved it! For some reason, though, my parents never let me play with it too often. Don't know why.

I always wanted one but my mom didn't want me to have one...I think she was afraid I would electricute myself.

Went through three light bulbs with the thing I had so much fun with it. I still see the original and knock-offs in hobby and toy shops.

awesome toy. We used to put the pegs in water and pretend they were fish and we had a petshop.

I wanted thoses so badly. I had something similar. But there were no picks. there was stencils and a pen.

wanted one real bad but they were kinda expensive for my family my mom went to the store one day and bought the pegs which she thought was the intire kit. Me and my sister tried to play with them by making designs and holding them up to the lamp. Oh the trauma of childhood. My daughter bought me one for my birthday a couple of years ago. .... I think I had more fun playing with the lamp.

I had one of these. I was pretty little, so I would spend a long time in front of it, trying to make the picture. I can remember starting to see colors after sitting there for so long, lol! I used to play with the pegs when I was bored with making the picture.

I remember seein them in stores but never owned one

Me and my sister shared one as kids and we loved it. I especially remember the sound a peg would make when the vacuum cleaner would get hold of one. Bought my son one of the new ones, he played with it for about 15 minuites and has not touched it since. Kids these days.....

I adore Lite Brite! When I was 4 or 5, I would play with mine for ages. I liked to turn the lights off and pretend they were Christmas lights when it wasn't Christmas time. Oh, the memories!

I loved Lite Brite! It was a really good toy for when you had to stay inside and nothing to do. Just like everyone else, we probably lost a million little pegs all over the house, but ours got a lot of use.

Lite Brite was one of my favorite toys... I wasn't to interested in the pre-designed papers, though. I preferred to make my own pictures!

I still have this. I used to spell bad words on mine. I lost some of the pegs.

I grew up in th late 80's and 90's. i had one of these. i remember sitting for hours. wvwntually i lost all the little pegs but it was fun while it lasted.

If anyone still has a lite brite i would love to buy it from you I need it for an art project! please email me the.mfain.way@gmail.com

I recently found out that they still sell these, and now you can also buy a Lite Brite Flat Screen, Travel Lite Brite, and Lite Brite Cube! I had to buy one of each. Printable Lite-Brite Refill Sheets (Mac & PC) on http://www.glowpeg.com/.

I had one of these, got it in 1989 on Christmas. Fun times.

I remember going out of my mind with happiness when I got this as a gift for Xmas as a kid!

I got this from a garage sale last September. It's the 80's version :-p

best toy ever wow this took me down memory lane i must have been about 5 or 6 when i first got this maybe 4

We have two of these! I had Ghostbusters pictures to make pictures with. I also remember that I was confused by the colors. I thought the letter P was for purple and not pink not know that the letter V was for the purple ones being the color violet. We also have a box of pegs that we found at a dollar store a few years back. My dad said we should find them and let my niece play with them.

Hasbro introduced Lite Brite in 1969. A 75-watt light bulb was recommended for optimal vision. When you first got the toy, the colored bulb-pegs were bagged separately (there were never enough, you had to buy more), and about ten blank, black sheets of special paper (additional sheets were sold in boxes of ten for 79 cents). Pre-printed design sheets of different cartoon characters (Bozo, Bugs Bunny and others) were sold in packs of five for 69 cents. Letters were printed in white to match the color peg to insert. Early TV commercial, with a familiar jingle, aired on the "Archie Comedy Hour" over CBS (12/6/69).
