Twilight Turtle

When I was growing up, I had glow in the dark stars on my bedroom ceiling. I put them up myself, so I didn't quite get the constellations right. Of course, since I didn't wear my glasses to bed, I couldn't really see them anyway. But regardless, the Twilight Turtle by Cloud B simplifies the whole process by projecting constellations in a variety of colors directly onto the ceiling.

Twilight Turtle, the first and only plush constellation nightlight ever created, gently transforms nurseries and bedrooms into a starry night sky that comforts and calms children and adults alike. From within his plastic shell, Twilight Turtle projects a complete starry night sky onto the walls and ceiling of any room. Twilight comes with three soothing color options blue, green, and amber to create magical, tranquil environments that are ideal for helping children of all ages fall asleep easier.

Of course, since the turtle runs on 3 AAA batteries, I would have to think that you'd be replacing batteries fairly often. Furthermore, its usefulness as a nightlight is diminished if it automatically shuts off after 45 minutes. I'm sure it helps children fall asleep, but what about when they wake up in the middle of the night in a pitch black room?
