Lite Sprites and Lite Wand

Lite SpritesFor those of you with little girls, you probably already know that the Lite Sprites are a “must have” on their list and is recommended for ages 4 and up.

In the magical sprites world that is so bright and colorful, enchantment springs to life for little girls. These sprites are known as WowWee’s Lite Sprites. They have their own magical place that goes by the name of Lite Topia and it’s quite an enchanted land just perfect for sprites as everyone knows.

Lite Topia is an enchanted world full of many lights and colors. There are many different characters that children can collect. The Sprites have a leader and her name is Prisma. She is vivacious and enjoys all of the beautiful, kind lights. The Prisma set comes with her figurine in her own little pod as well as the Lite Wand that your child will use to interact with other Lite Topia characters sets.

Lite Sprites Lite Wand Will Amaze Children

The Lite Sprites main selling point is the way in that the Lite Wand can recognize colors from our world. When your child points it at certain objects, the light at the end of the wand will light up. When the wand is pointed at Prisma, she changes to match that color. When kids find a color they like, they can point it at other Lite Sprites from the range and change their color too.

Ten colors come with the Lite Wand on a separate color wheel, but is designed for kids to find new ones by exploring the objects in the world around them and absorbing those colors. The wand is designed to store colors if your child wants to bring them with them somewhere else.

These adorable little sprites have unique colors to them that they draw by using their magical wands. A long time ago in this magical land of Lite Topia there was beauty in the light all around as the four sprites used their wands to create the beauty by using color spells.

Lite Sprite Games

Lite Sprite games encourage children to become more attentive to their surroundings and as they search for a color that they’ve never used before.

Absorbing colors with the wand and changing the Lite Sprites color isn`t the only thing the children can do with these fantastical creatures. You can also play games on the lite wand like finding the color that it shows you before the time runs out. Prisma stays lit up for about twelve minutes so she can even be used as a night.

This wouldn`t be a true fairy tale scenario though if we didn`t have a bad sprite to go along with the good sprites. This Wowwee Lite Sprite is named Bleak and comes with her Pod. She doesn`t want to live the good life of the other sprites and so she likes to be mischievous and  turn things to drab colors but the good WowWee’s Lite Sprites work to make Lite Topia colorful again.

Another sprites that is grateful for the color and beauty of Lite Topia is Astra. She has the ability to add a unique touch to the moon and stars.  She’s the dreamer in the crowd and in the Wowwee Lite Sprite Astra and Pod set.

Lastly we have the Lite Sprite, Brooke and she has the ability to bring a unique color to water for the enjoyment of all who gaze upon it. The wands that come with each of these sprites has the ability to capture light from other objects and project it onto the play set.

Lite Sprites Tree of Lite – Home Sweet Home

The place these little sprites call home is the Tree of Lite. Each of the sprites Lite Sprites Tree of Litepods can connect to the Tree of Lite which has an elevator, stairs and balconies. The tree also has soft sounds and pretty lights and they can move about it freely.

Also in the WowWee’s Lite Sprites world is the Wowwee Lite Sprite Deluxe Waterfall Playset.
