Welcome to Wishlist After Dark! I'm Penny, here with our ray of joy, Sunny, and sequined Marty Dazzle. Marty, go! Folks, it's the Lite Brite Classic by Basic Fun! Kids push glowing pegs into a board and make art with light. It's perfect for kids four and up who love making art! Hi, everyone! Marty, picture it: the lights go off and that thing's glowing! Oh, I see it, Sunny! Two hundred and six glowing pegs in six colors!

And six easy templates! Like a boat and a unicorn, the maker says! But wait, there's more! You get four light modes to switch between! Okay, Sunny. Little fingers, right up against those lights. Does it get hot? Nope, Penny, and it's my favorite part! The maker says the L E D bulbs don't get hot. And Amazon search showed over nine thousand bought in the past month! Oh, I want one! Easy, Marty. We couldn't confirm the star rating, and its three double A batteries aren't included.

Wait, no batteries? Tape 'em to the box, Penny! One buyer's review also calls it cheap, and says you only get six pieces of replacement paper. But Penny! Owners of the Ultimate Classic version on Hip2Save say kids played with it more than more expensive toys! Some do, Sunny. Others there call it much smaller and not as bright, and say the kickstand isn't the most stable. Penny, I'm still saying eight point three!

Seven point seven for me, Marty. That dark bedroom glow gets me. I'm at seven point one, because that cheap complaint bugs me. So the After Dark Score is seven point seven out of ten, outside our top eight toys. Still, it's a buy for little artists! You heard her, folks! The link's on our site and in the description. See you next time!
