Toy Brick Light Switches

The Building Brick Light Switch Plate Lets the Energy-Conscious Play

— December 5, 2013 — Art & Design
Turning on and off a light is about as exciting as watching paint dry, but the Building Brick Light Switch Plate is about to change all of that. This light switch cover integrates play into one of the most mundane household activities. The cover takes up a decent amount of space, allowing you to get creative with your bricks and mini-figs.

Perhaps the best thing about the Building Brick Light Switch Plate is that it's compatible with just about every kind of toy brick there is. That's right, whether you're a LEGO loyalist or a manic Mega Bloks supporter, the toy brick light switch plate let's you play. The open compatibility should also make for some fun mixing and matching, if you're the type of person to mix your toy blocs, that is. ThinkGeek is selling the cover (with blocks not included) for $9.99.
