Cloud b Calming Nightlight Star Projector | Gentle Brightness | 3 Colors | 8 Constellations | Auto-Shutoff | Twilight Turtle Blue

We bought this for our son when he was one. He is now 16, and even though he stopped using "Moose", which is what he named the turtle as a toddler, years ago, it got used every night for years. It has been knocked off the bed many times, it's gone camping with us, it's been packed in luggage for trips, and it still works perfectly. The lights vary from dim amber, regular blue, and brightish green. The constellations are easy enough to find and it shuts off on its own. Battery life is very good. Confession time: "Moose" lives next to my bed now and sometimes if I wake up in the middle of the night I turn on the stars to help me fall asleep again. This is a simple, quality toy with no silly gimmicks like movement or music. It's durable. And it's super cute. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

I had been eyeing these since we had our first child, who is now 5. His little brother, who is 2 1/2 has been suddenly having issues with going to bed - scared of monsters, ghosts, you name it. He started getting out of bed 2 - 3 times each night after we put him down, and not sleeping until 2 hours or more past his bedtime. I was going to get the turtle for him for Christmas, but decided we needed it now. And it has actually helped him stay in bed. The first night, we all lay and sat as a family in the boys' room and looked at the stars together. Now we put him in his bed, turn the turtle on, kiss him and that's that. It was between this and one of those Dream Lites, but those are made by the Pillow Pet people and seem so cheap in comparison. (I've had to fix stitching in Pillow Pets a few times, and the plush fabric on them is not the nicest.) Plus the Dream Lites only put stars straight up on the ceiling. This puts stars all over the room. If it's in the middle of the room, it will project stars on every wall and the ceiling. Our son's bed is by a wall, so it doesn't reach the far wall, but projects enough on 3 walls and the ceiling so that both boys can enjoy the stars. It turns itself off after 45 minutes - brilliant!! My husband likes that since he doesn't have to change batteries constantly. And you can change the color of the stars, although our guy always chooses blue, which he calls purple. I don't know why people complain about the hard shell, because if the shell were plush, um, the plush piling would block the stars. It's a beautiful product, excellent quality and now our 5 year old wants one too. I wouldn't hesitate to get this for my kid or another child. Oh, and I did mention it comes with a constellation guide for the star pattern it projects. Our boys love to point out Orion's belt! It's actually educational too - bonus!

My three-year old nephew has been fascinated with my Homestar Personal Planetarium, but it is an advanced product--not for tiny people or fingers to explore. It occurred to me that I needed to find him his very own, "touchable" planetarium that he could learn to care for and use, perhaps enhancing further interest in the night sky and astronomy. Therefore, I was delighted to find this product on Amazon, and after reading the various reviews, I decided that this was the right item to buy. And it was! :) The Twilight Turtle is a unique and happy product--doesn't the world need more of those? With its smooth star-studded shell, soft changeable lights, gentle, sleepy appearance, and its big activation buttons, it has appeal for young children (like my nephew) as well as adults. One of the things I consider when I buy something is the in-box / out of box experience. I found the Twilight Turtle's packaging to be of EXCELLENT, eye-catching quality, and the design makes one feel like he / she has truly purchased a special, lovable item---worthy of showing, keeping, sending, sharing, and gifting. In fact, the box itself is definitely worth keeping for future turtle storage or travel. When one first sees Twilight Turtle in the box, one sees him sitting on a bed of pond rocks under a peaceful starry night. (The toy's sweet expression is one of pleasant repose.) I was most impressed with the notation that the product had been individually hand painted, which offers an intriguing human touch not found in most items today. Immediately, I had a good feeling that the "Sleep Sheep & Friends: Soothing the Senses for Better Sleep" products were genuine, finely-crafted, multi-purpose toys that offer both comfort and learning. Removing Twilight from the box was easy--not frustrating as some toys are today with all their many plastic twist ties, and activating Twilight was even easier. :) He came with a clever story to tell, and he was prepared to shine his lights for eager eyes. He wasn't too heavy for a child to hold or too big to overwhelm; his size was just right. The guide booklet's information was fun to read, and it enhanced the creative and educational aspects of the toy. Easy-to-find and easy-to-use buttons make the turtle accessible to various ages and stages. All three light colors seemed pleasing to our eyes--with the amber one being the dimmest / most restful, the blue being in the middle of intensity, and the green / emerald being the brightest. Thus, the user can modify his / her starry night for various "moods" of slumber, which is a feature that we liked. Unlike the Homestar Planetarium, Twilight's stars do NOT move, and he has just eight constellations; however, these features were fine for our purposes---a simple, comforting product to encourage a little one to go to his own room for wonder, rest, and sleep. As a night light, Twilight is truly a stellar product--pun intended! :) Champion of the little sleeper, the turtle chases away total darkness, anxiety, stress, and fear; he instills peace, confidence, joy, and curiosity. Though it seems targeted to children, I can see how this same product might also aid adults who need comfort, mood-setting, and sleep-help. (Most especially, for sick, injured, or otherwise, stressed adults!) As an educational toy, the turtle can teach (if adults model important lessons) the following: 1. Respect for a nice, personal object / property--no throwing, hitting, or mistreating the turtle 2. Gentleness, ownership, and care-taking ( Certificate of Adoption is included with Turtle! ) 3. Vocabulary: Sensory details, Connections, & Colors--"Twilight" "Amber" "Blue" Green" "Constellation" "Shell" "Head" Legs" "Tail" "Belly," "Fuzzy," "Smooth," "Hard," "Soft," etc. 4. Counting: to Seven & Shapes ( Shell Segments ); Counting Stars; Grouping 5. Concepts: on / off; big / little; near / far; day / night; 45 minute timer, etc. 6. Imagination: Storytelling about Twilight's family and pond adventures; Storytelling related to the constellations; creative storytelling individualized for child 7. Beginning mythology and science: Who is Orion? Where do real turtles live? 8. Healthy sleep / bedroom habits Order Twilight Turtle, and he will transform your rooms and your heart. :)

This is such a cool toy!!! This turtle's body is soft & plush with a durable plastic hard shell:) I was going to purchase a couple of the Dream Lite plush toys that projected the starry night for my two nephews, but I read that product's & this product's descriptions and reviews and decided on purchasing this one:) Anyhow, Dream Lite projects "stars" and a "smiley face", but the "projected stars" don't seem to have any "constellations" within them for future "star gazers" while the Cloud B Turtle has eight "constellations" (star patterns) within its stars as well as a small paper "story book" that describes them:) Plus I think that the Dream Lite has only one color with it while the Cloud B Turtle has three "soothing colors" (there's a reason that they picked these colors for soothing effects): amber - color of twilight & a soothing fire, green - color of healing, rejuvenation, and the color of life, and blue - the color of the peaceful sky and sea:) The shell also lights up in these soothing colors as a cool "night-light" - it also shuts itself off after an hour:) The battery cover has a screw to hold it in place so that it can't come off as well as soft "flap" that velcro's over it:) The ONLY THING that I didn't like about it was that it included three batteries in it that didn't have a piece of plastic between them so that it wouldn't be activated in shipping - so the batteries were dead and I had to change them out... That's o.k. though because I was very surprised that there were three AAA Batteries included with it - even if they were "dead"!!! LOL:) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COOL & SOOTHING PRODUCT FOR ANY CHILD - IT ALSO HELPS THE FEAR OF THE DARK OF SOME CHILDREN!!! Oh yeah, one more thing: I am into Astronomy as a Hobby and although I didn't expect the 8 constellations to be in the right area of the sky, but after a couple of nights of checking it out - I noticed that the constellations seem to be "backwards" - that is, they appear to be the right way on the "Turtle Shell", but when it is "projected" on the ceiling, they appear "backwards"!!! It still is a nice present though:) Enjoy It!!!

I bought this same turtle light 15 years ago when my first son was born and he loved it as well as everyone else. When I saw it again while creating my recent baby registry I had to have it! It brightened my oldest son’s face seeing it and it’s been a great light in the bedroom for my new little addition. Gives off enough light so I can walk around and not stub my toe on furniture or disturb anyone. Three light settings/colors (we always go for blue). Fun picking out the constellations on the ceiling!

It only lasts about 20 minutes; my 5 year old would prefer it stay on all night, but I understands the timer is to help with sleep. Great price, really cute and easy to use.

Update: This turtle worked fine for the past month and then it started blinking, which the instructions say indicates a low battery. I replaced the batteries with brand new alkaline Kirkland (Costco) brand batteries. The unit would then work for about 15 seconds, then go back to flashing the amber color. I tried another set of batteries (which I checked on my meter and I know are good/new), and same thing. I remember reading a review saying to mix some of the old batteries with the new, so I did... same flashing light. I then went out and bought a different brand of battery (Ray-O-Vac alkaline), and those worked perfectly! Right back to how it should be. Fine... it's working again, but it's pretty lame the circuitry on this thing is so finicky and sensitive one has to find just the right AAA batteries with the right tip length (some reviews say some brand have too short of a tip and don't make contact) and the right power output to get everything to work okay. Kind of kooky, but the turtle lights live another day and our little guy is happy. Really, $30-$50 for this thing?? There's not much too it... it's just some fabric, stuffing, plastic shell, and a little logic board with LEDs... I know these are not that expensive to make... but boy does my son love it! and it really does have a cool effect in the room. In an effort to buy things that a little kid appreciates/loves/uses, this was money well spent. Still, these are over priced. For example, the Munchkin Nursery Projector sold here on Amazon is $20/delivered (with Prime), and that thing has a projector with three scenes, tons of sounds/music, it's sound activated, it has a timer with multiple settings, it has a nightlight, and the projector tilts... all for $20! But this turtle just has three lights, a set countdown timer, and not much else, but it's $30-$50? Really? Again, all that aside, we're pretty happy with the end result... it's a nice little turtle with a cool effect that our kid loves. That's where the value is.

This was a gift. He is just over a year old. He was mesmerized with it. Works as described. Good quality. Really cute.

Awesome Product, Must Buy...!!!!

Un excellent cadeau de naissance, j'achète régulièrement ce produit il est beau de bonne qualité et a une belle projection au plafond parfait pour une petit bout. De plus il le suit dans son évolution ce qui peu faire un beau souvenir sur le long terme. Le prix est très correct 🏆

Uguale e perfetta come la stessa di mia figlia che dopo 26 anni usa ancora❤️

Great. My 7m duaghter love it. She kept watching it and wont fall asleep

I ordered this for our 5 year old daughter who was a terrible sleeper. We were at our wits end as bedtime and sleeping have been a trauma for the whole family ever since she moved from her cot to her bed at the age of 3. She is terrified of being alone upstairs and will wake up numerous times during the night and climb in to bed with my husband and I. We would have to sit with her waiting for her to go to sleep as she didn't want to be alone in her room and would literally scream in fear of being alone. This meant that my husband and i would to take turns each evening sitting with her and inevitably falling asleep ourselves by the foot of her bed to get her off to sleep. I read books on sleep, invested in countless night lights and even tried a reward system (ie bribes!!) - she loves dinosaurs, and her collection is now second to none, but this had no impact on her sleeping pattern. I came across the turtle by chance, and I read the reviews which mostly seemed very positive and thought it was worth a shot (desperate to try anything really!). She picked the colour she liked and was very excited about receiving it. It arrived within a day or two and unusually with batteries included and installed. Already a good sign! My daughter loves that the turtle is soft and cuddly despite its hard shell, he snuggles up to her every night. Night one - my husband took her up, read a story, turned off the lights and switched on the turtle. It lights up the room really nicely but isn't bright at all, just lovely soft hues (amber green and blue). He stayed with her for 5 minutes, then left the room while she was still awake with the promise of returning to check on her 5 mins later, which he did. He repeated this 3 times, by the third visit she was fast asleep. NOT ONE TEAR WAS SHED!! She stayed in her own bed all night..!! We thought it must be beginners luck, but.. Night two - same as night one, but this time she was asleep on the 2nd check up Night three, 4 and 5 - only one check up required, she just goes straight to sleep after story and lights out. We are blown away by how effective this has been for us! Its a miracle in our book! We love the turtle, so cute and cuddly, fantastic projection of real constellation of stars on the ceiling, it is a GREAT product, can't recommend highly enough!
