Holiday Showcase: Cra-Z-Art LITE BRIX

Cra-Z-Art know for it’s arts and crafts has introduced a whole new line of toys called LITE BRIX™.  It is an exciting new innovative building system that combines traditional brick building construction with the magic of light up bricks and connectors, allowing kids to “build with lights.”  Themes include: Robots, Helicopters, Race Cars, Jet Fighters, Motorcycles, Space Shuttles, Lumi-Port Airport, Fire Rescue and Extreme City Buildings.  Each set comes with a battery power pack that attaches to the models. The product line is available exclusively at Toys “R” Us® stores nationwide and online at toysrus.com.

LITE BRIX™ is for kids ages 6 and up. If you are raising an architect, then this may be the toy for your child. Personally, I would stick with the building sets on this product. The battery pack is big, heavy and NOT integrated into the design. The light feature is really meant for stationary display, not vehicles or robots which are always in motion. It’s a great concept, but kids may become frustrated if they cannot “play” with it.

Tune into Time To Play Magazine‘s Playdate video on Friday, where they will test out the LITE BRIX™!
