You can’t tell from the video, but Cloud B’s Twilight Sea Turtle really does light up the room with soothing green and blue stars and moons. I think you can see that Maya’s enthusiasm for it more than makes up for the lack of visual presentation.

Winner of the 2008 Creative Child Top Choice of the Year Award, the sleepy turtle comes with a star guide to teach kids about the three constellations that will be featured on the bedroom ceiling each night: the Big Dipper, Deophinus the Dolphin, and Cetus the Whale.

Kids can also learn about the importance of conservation by reading the included Twilight Sea Turtle story, which features five endangered species: the Blue Whale, California Sea Otter, Knysna Seahorse, Leatherback Turtle, and Vaquita Dolphin. As a bonus for the eco-conscious, part of the proceeds go to an international conservation organization.

The stars show up best when the turtle is closer to the cieling, but Maya likes to put it on the floor so the stars are spread out all over her room, giving her walls, cieling, and bed a relaxing glow. And, of course, she’s always asleep by the time the turtle’s 45-minute self timer turns it off.
