Twilight Turtle

January 6, 2010

One of our most popular gifts for toddlers this past holiday season was the Twilight Turtle Constellation Night Light. The winner of several industry awards, including the Editor's Choice blue ribbon from Baby Talk the Twilight Turtle Constellation Night Light transforms an infant or toddlers room into a magical star filled night sky which comforts the child to sleep. Twilight Turtle is much more than a nightlight that helps ease the children's fear of the dark however, this interactive and educational toy projects 8 actual star constellations (such as The Big Dipper) onto bedroom ceiling and walls in your choice of three nurturing colors. Parents can sit with their children and identify these major constellations using the wonderfully illustrated Twilight Turtle Star Guide. Twilight Turtle helps make bedtime fun for children of all ages not just toddlers. Also adding to the gifts uniqueness, each Twilight Turtle is individually hand painted for an artsy look that complements the nursery or child's room.
