#23 LITE BRITE

Fun creative toy from the 80's that is still for sale today although now its cordless but the concept of pushing the coloured pegs through the paper to make your glowing design is the same.

Did you know that Tinkertoys were invented in 1913 by Charles Pajeau, who was inspired by children playing with pencils and empty spools of thread?
