Picture Magnets. Relax. Happy Pills. 13 Ounces Or Less. Tell me, did you ever play with these growing up? Light Brites was definitely one of those things I was very excited to introduce to my kids. Recently, while keeping my 3-year-old entertained, we discovered we could use our Light Brigtes to make this I was surprised to discover how simple this was. We took our recent booty from the pumpkin patch and hollowed it out like usual. Then we just had to scrape out a little extra to make the pumpkin walls a tad thinner than usual.

The results were fantastic. We decided the idea was too good not to share, so we piled some Light Brites in a tube, taped them up, and added some postage. Now that I’ve mailed them off, there is is just one thing I’m trying to decide. So…do I mail the pumpkin too? Find postage rates for happy mail right here along with other mailing details.
