light-up toy

Illuminated child's amusement

A light-up toy is any plaything that illuminates, typically using LEDs or small bulbs activated by switches, motion, or sound.

The category spans from infant toys with glowing buttons to spinning wands sold at amusement parks: The kids begged for light-up toys at the carnival.

The appeal lies in visual stimulation, especially in dim settings.
