Why it works
The light goes off and the bedroom ceiling becomes the Milky Way, the constellations or the solar system, depending on the disc you put in. It turns slowly and switches itself off after thirty minutes, so it also helps with getting to sleep. It comes with an illustrated colour leaflet for putting names to what you see.
Our verdict
A lot of effect for little money for a child of seven to ten who is drawn to space. If they already have a telescope or a similar projector, it adds nothing new.
They will like it if
- they ask about planets and stars
- they find it hard to turn off the light at night
- you want something with the feel of a serious gift without spending much
Bear in mind
- it needs 3 AA batteries, which are not in the box
- it only really shines with the room properly dark
- there are three discs: the novelty lasts a few weeks
