Basic Fun Lite Brite Glowboard

(Basic Fun $24.99) Not the traditional Lite-Brite with pegs, but a really fun drawing platform that our testers enjoyed. The clear acrylic "glowboard" comes with five markers, 3 backgrounds and stencils. Our testers were more interested in adding their own creations. The board comes with feet so it can stand up, but we recommend drawing on the board when it's flat. Once you've added your drawing -- you can adjust the lights so they flash between different colors or you can pick your favorite. The toy lights up via a USB power cord. We used a battery pack which gave us more freedom where we could play with the toy. This type of drawing toy can be used for art, playing games (e.g., tic tac toe) and working on math and writing. Marked 6 & up.
