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.

 Love The Lady Bug! July 19, 2008
I bought this for my 3 yr. old daughter and it was a hit! When it first arrived, it was during the day and not dark enough to see the stars. We took it into our bathroom and spent half the day in there looking at the stars! I recommend this to any one with little ones, and especially if they love the moon and stars. It would really help babies and toddlers who are having sleep issues. They could learn to enjoy bedtime w/ this product.
Love this! July 19, 2008
My 2 year old loves this light up ladybug. We used it as an addition to her "big girl" room and she thinks it's great. My husband wonders why we don't have one in our room too! The red light really doesn't project stars on the ceiling, but is good as a night light. The blue and green stars show up really well in her room. I think this was a great purchase and well worth the money!
Great bedtime friend July 18, 2008
We and our daughter love this. She actually takes it to bed with her, it is super soft like a stuft animal with the hard shell on top and she just loves to take it to bed and push all the buttons and change the colors.
The only problem we have with it (which really isn't a problem for a 3 year old) is that it must be centered in the room and fairly close to the ceiling to actually see the stars perfectly on the ceiling. The only thing we have tall enough is the hutch on the dresser and it is to the side of the room so it gets cramed over there. When she takes it to bed, it sprawls the stars largely all over the walls, etc. Not a big deal, but does take away from the "celestial learning".
 Great product for kids July 17, 2008
We purchased the turtle a couple of years back and my daughter always wanted the color red to illuminate her room, (the turtle has yellow, green and blue lights). We have recently purchased the twilight ladybug and while it has red, our elder child still sticks with the color blue when she borrows her sister's ladybug. The constellations on the ladybug are a lot larger than those on the twilight turtle, and while our infant is too young to understand, I think she'll love it as much as her sister. The power on/off button on the shell is a good improvement from the turtle, whose power off option is hidden on the underside of the turtle instead of conveniently on the shell.
A great buy.
cute night light July 15, 2008
very cute product.. lights up my baby's entire room with stars (but not too bright!) auto- shut off after 45 mins is a nice feature. i thought it would cycle through the different colors (red, green and blue) automatically but its just the 3 manual settings.
