Artful, Soothing and Educational
With its illuminating shell and pretty, artful design, the Twilight Ladybug complements any nursery or child's room. Both plush and soft and built to last, this nightlight is best placed on the floor in the center of the room, where it projects a starry night sky onto the ceiling and walls. For interactive fun, parents can also sit with their children and identify and describe the features of seven major constellations, including the Big Dipper and Pegasus, with the help of the beautifully illustrated Star Guide. The Twilight Ladybug also includes a sweet and charming story about how Twilight Ladybug, separated from his father, uses the constellations to find his way home. User-Friendly Operation
Simply pressing the button on the ladybug's wings ignites the stars and keeps them glowing for a full 45 minutes--just enough time for most children to drift into sleep. At this point, the Twilight Ladybug automatically shuts off to preserve battery life. Another push of the button reactivates the projection. In addition, the easy selection of the three soothing color choices allow your child not only to learn to identify different colors, but also to truly experience them as well. Ruby red offers a rich, warm feeling; sapphire blue is peaceful; and emerald green inspires feelings of harmony and renewal. The warm glow the Twilight Ladybug emits also serves as a nightlight that makes the darkness less frightening. Makes a Great Gift
A great gift for children who are afraid of the dark, or even adults who have trouble falling asleep, the Twilight Ladybug runs on three "AAA" batteries (included). It also comes with a certificate of adoption, and measures a compact 14.0 x 5.0 inches (WxH), so it's easy to display and store. About Cloud b

Let your child experience the tranquility of sleeping under a bed of stars every night with the clever Twilight Ladybug, the latest friend in Cloud b's line of sleep companions. Fussy babies, darkness-fearing toddlers, and even insomniac adults will experience peacefulness and delight as this friendly plush ladybug, positioned on the floor in the center of a room, projects a starry night sky onto ceiling and walls from the workings under her plastic wings.
The Twilight Ladybug projects eight constellations and offers a choice of three relaxing nightlight colors.
| Pressing the button on the ladybug's wings illuminates the stars and keeps them glowing for 45 minutes -- just enough time for drifting off to sleep -- before automatically shutting off to preserve battery life. The Twilight Ladybug offers a choice of three soothing colors in hues that are known for their ability to encourage relaxation: ruby red promotes warmth; sapphire blue for peace and sleep; and emerald green, known for harmony and renewal. Of the three, there is certain to be one that complements the color scheme of baby's room. From where she is stationed, the ladybug emits a warm glow in the color of choice, doubling as a comforting nightlight.  | | The adorable ladybug comes with a story book and constellation guide. | In addition to its calming effect, Twilight Ladybug also features an educational component. Among the clusters of stars sprinkled across the ceiling are eight recognizable constellations. The accompanying guide tells the warm-hearted story about how Twilight Ladybug got separated from her father and used the constellations to find her way home, which is a sweet way to introduce the constellations and encourage kids to learn their locations. An included booklet maps out which area of Twilight Ladybug's shell the constellations are projected from, so stargazers will know where to look for them on the ceiling. The booklet also gives a brief explanation of each constellation and its most notable features. In the center of the sky is Orion the hunter, most easily recognizable by the three stars that make up his belt. At the 11:00 position, both Draco the dragon and The Little Dipper can be spotted. The Little Dipper is more visible because the North Star, Polaris, highlights the end of its handle. The North Star used to be positioned within Draco but movement in the skies shifted it over to The Little Dipper over time. In the upper right side of the sky (and the ladybug's wings), is Canis Major (The Greater Dog), which hosts the brightest star in the sky, Sirius, at a point in the dog's neck. Right next to Canis Major is Cepheus, a little house with a pointed roof. In the lower right quadrant of the sky, Pegasus -- the winged horse -- is visible. He is easiest to find by locating the square that makes up the center of his body first. On the south side of the sky (between 6 and 7:00), viewers can see two stick figure people. These are Gemini, the twins. And, finally, the best known constellation -- The Big Dipper -- can be found at 9:00. This is really two constellations in one as The Big Dipper makes up the tail end of the constellation Ursa Major, the Big Bear. A unique product, the Twilight Ladybug makes a thoughtful and creative baby gift to help infants or overtired moms grab a few hours of sleep. At only 14 inches long and 5 inches high, this interactive nightlight puts a lot of punch in a small package and is surprisingly easy to work. Each ladybug comes with its own certificate of adoption and runs on three AAA batteries, which are included.

 Nice nightlight January 8, 2009
My 20 month old son loved the turtle immediately for his bedtime routine. The green and blue are brighter than the amber but he likes those colors better. Serves as a great nightlight and entertainment before bed. Can't beat that and the price for stars on the ceiling!
 Great, highly recommend. January 8, 2009
The twilight sea turtle is great. I bought this as a gift for some friends and it has made getting their son to bed and to take naps so much easier. My daughter has the twilight turtle which we like but the sea turtle is better. It has a moon on it and different animals you can light up plus I think the colors are better - no yellow... I don't think you'll be sorry if you purchase this because what kid doesn't love seeing stars on the ceiling.
great turtle January 8, 2009
Turtle was better then I expected. Able to view stars in both colors on ceiling from bed. buttons allow you to turn off lights prior to 45 minute timer. Great night light.
Love it so far! January 8, 2009
We got this (the sea turtle version) for my 2 year old son for Christmas, and he really loves it. He was not truly afraid of the dark, but was starting to be concerned about it a little. We got it for him because he is obsessed with stars. He goes to bed, lays down, and plays with this for about 20 minutes before falling right asleep. I
t turns off by itself, but there are times when I go in there and it's on. I don't know if his arm accidentally turns it on or what.
We have a night light in his room, and the stars still show up really clearly on the ceiling even w/ the nightlight, so I don't know what other comments about it not showing up were referring to.
Also, it may not be super tough, but I consider this a BEDTIME toy, and not a toy to be tossed about and stepped on. So it should stay in decent shape if you let your child know it's a bedtime toy.
I would highly recommend this toy to anyone with a toddler who is interested in stars, but not old enough to understand constellations... this is just pretend!
One thing they could add to this is some super soft music that you could turn on with one of the buttons, but all in all, this is a great bedtime toy.
Star Turtle January 6, 2009
I found this turtle on facebook through Circle of Moms and had to check it out myself. I purchased the Turtle and my 3 1/2 year old loves the stars on his ceiling. We took to Grandma's and it provided some comfort in a different environment. It changes in to 3 different colors and my son loves to play with it every nite! Well worth the price and it traveled well.
