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

Amazon.com Product Description
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.

 Beautiful! January 6, 2009
T. L. Collier (The Woodlands, TX)
Bought this for my 2yo son who loves night lights. He gets so tickled when the stars come out at night on his bedroom ceiling. Also loves looking at the endangered animals on the panels. Very easy for him to operate using the large buttons on the turtles back.
Great baby shower gift idea! January 6, 2009

My son is almost 2, and he loves this turtle. He will watch the stars on the ceiling and fall asleep. It is a great way to get him to fall asleep at grandma's house. Wish I had purchased this sooner. Great baby shower gift idea!
Twilight Lady Bug January 6, 2009
Anthony J. DiMaria (Las Vegas, NV)
This is great! The whole room lights up with stars for your little one. After 45 minutes it turns off by itself so you don't have your battery wasted all night. This is a must have for any child.
This is a kids toy, not a planetarium January 6, 2009
Caveat Emptor
My three year old loves her lady bug, it keeps her company as she falls asleep. The stars don't really look like stars where the light hits the ceiling, there are no recognizable constellations and I don't bother setting it up on something to elevate it. The batteries last forever, it shuts off automatically after so much time and, most importantly, it makes my little girl happy. The lady bug casts a crescent moon shape among the stars. Each night I position the moon in a different area and the last thing she does before she falls asleep is finds the moon on the ceiling. Any toy that can make a child happy on a daily basis is money well spent.
Awesome!! January 5, 2009

I have 3 grandchildren and 4 years ago I bought the turtle and my 4 yr old grandson still uses it!!!! Now I have 2 more grandsons, so I purchased the Ladybug and Sea Turtle!! Both of these are awesome. If I had to choose the Ladybug would be both mine and my grandsons' favorite!! It is bright and the stars and moon are show up so clearly!! My second choice (and grandsons') would be the Sea Turtle. This one has fish and mammal circles and the stars and moon (just not as many stars) and is awesome to view. These two also have off switches. The original that I got 4 years ago has no off switch and you need to wait 30 minutes - maybe they have corrected it now, but still it's bright and awesome for the boys.
Buy with confidence as they are great night lights
