I will never forget...
my father was kind of obsessed with toy accessories. In his own words, "My parents were good at buying the Christmas present I wanted but that was it, I never got any of the accessories or stuff to go with." So I got a Lite Brite as a kid...and n extra pack of the papers and just a huge amount of extra pegs. Like I had one of those cookie tins full of lite brite pegs.
And my older cousin one day took one of the blank papers they give you and filled the entire thing. It looked pretty damn epic.

I would play with that right now.

They are quite fun indeed

Impressive how all those little pieces haven't been lost after all those years! I'm happy that your kid gets to enjoy this great toy

Maybe the little parts could be a choking hazard to a 3-years-old ?

I came to comment the same thing. Lite Brites are amazing but they’re not appropriate for 3yos.

No. By the age of 3, almost all kids aren't randomly putting things in their mouths any more. Source: I have a 3 year old.

That is wonderful. I LOVE it when things can be passed on to new (young or older!) owners. I don't have kids of my own but I have a few nieces and nephews. Some stuffed toys from my own childhood have already found new homes with them.
Other toys from my youth I don't really have anymore, they were already given away a long time ago in my teens or adolescence to new kids in the extended family or friends or acquaintances.
On my husband's side, there are still a lot of things in his childhood home that were never taken along with him or his sisters when they moved out. My parents-in-law constantly find things to give away to our niece and nephew from his side - that, or to just let them play with when they are visiting - because they have more room to store things than the mom, my sister-in-law, whose house is not so big.

My daughter (8) loves her light brite. She will play for hours making it and removing them one by one again 🤣 it should be labeled “how to keep you kid entertained for 4 hours”
we are keeping ours forever

Oh, nostalgia!

Was at a camping thing last summer and the host produced a light bright for the kids to play with. The kids lost interest after 10 minutes but the adults squabbled over it the rest of the night.
