whats the name of that toy

It was just a box, with a lightbulb in it. And you put a piece of black construction paper over it, and then punched the little colored bulbs in and made a drawing. Anyone remember?

Lite Brite actually came out in the late 60's. I think I have a '68 model laying around. They were a LOT cooler back then- the plastic pegs were like little death shards, and the lightbulb got hot enough to burn you
