Mini Lite-Brite takes the original “art with light” toy and turns it into something you can toss in a bag. This tiny 3 inch board uses battery powered LEDs and classic colored pegs, so you can follow one of the included design templates or freestyle your own glowing pixel art. The bulbs stay cool, the pegs click in with a satisfying feel, and the whole thing lights up in bright neon colors.

It hits a sweet spot for both kids discovering Lite-Brite for the first time and adults who remember the big version from way back. It’s a no-mess, screen-light alternative that still feels creative and a little bit retro, perfect for quiet play, travel, or low-key desk fidgeting.

Recommended for ages 4 and up. Batteries required (3 × AA), not included.
