Shopping for boys around the holidays can sometime be like shopping for boys for clothes, which means slim pickings. Their are only so many action figures and video games a mom wants to buy. This year Cra-Z-Art has stepped up to the plate and is offering something different, Lite Brix. These light up translucent bricks are sure to spark any boy’s imagination, young and old.
Here is some information about Lite Brix: Shine a light on your child’s creativity with the LITE BRIX™ Super Light Building System from Cra-Z-Art®, the innovative light-up building construction sets with vibrant sparkling lights in each translucent brick. The possibilities are endless with Lite Brix™, which are compatible with other major brick building systems and allow children to transform their creations into spectacularly-lit masterpieces for daytime or nighttime play. They’re compatible with your other bricks, and the battery powered LEDs cycle through four different colors. Create an entire light-up city, or mix and match and make into tons of amazing creations with the Lite Brix™ system that features special translucent building bricks parts that transfuse blinking light through them. From Super Jet Fighters and space shuttles, to racecars, fire stations, an airport and more, kids can design and create a magical world with Lite Brix™.
Each building system includes super bright LED light-up bricks that cycle through four colors, translucent pieces, a battery pack, and connector pieces that attach the Lite Brix™ to each other so the models can be built on different angles. 3 “AA” batteries required (not included).
Cra-Z-Art was nice enough to send me some of their Space Trooper Lite Brix to review. Wyatt was immediately drawn to the box and the fact that it lights up was super cool. I made him wait for his dad to help him put it together, since in does require batteries. I did take them about 20 minutes to assembly the Trooper, but he stayed together well, meaning the blocks lock tightly and he does light up alot! Wyatt has added more of these to his Christmas Wish List and I know he will have hours of fun with them. If you get stuck or lose your instructions, don’t worry, because on the Lite Brix website, the have manuals and how-to build videos for all the available sets.
This is sure to be a Hot Holiday Item this year for boys in the 6-12 age range! The Space Trooper retails for $19.99, The Full Lite Brix™ line is available at Toys R Us stores nationwide, Barnes and Noble and select other retailers. This toy is recommended for kids ages 6 and up.
DISCLOSURE: Lite Brix sent me product to facilitate my review. All opinions stated are my own.
