Description
This Nature Trail projector torch turns a bedroom wall into a little wildlife gallery, casting pictures of bugs, birds and animals wherever you point it. The torch is made of plastic, with a green body, an orange ring near the front, a black lens head and a ball chain at the end for hanging it on a hook or a bag zip. At 12cm long and 3cm across it is properly pocket-sized, and it sits comfortably in a small hand. It comes with two picture discs, each holding eight images, so there are sixteen creatures to look at in all.
The first disc carries a kingfisher, a seven spot ladybird, a common kestrel, a woodlouse, an earwig, a capsid bug, a ladybird spider and a soldier beetle. The second brings a yellow meadow ant, a zebra spider, a cinnabar moth, a stoat, a wasp beetle, a nightingale, a land snail and a black vine weevil. Dim the lights, choose a wall or ceiling and the picture appears there for everyone to spot and name together, which makes it a lovely toy for bedtime play, a rainy afternoon or a quiet game of guess the creature. It is for dry rooms indoors, such as a bedroom or playroom.
Using it is simple. Pull back the flap, slot in a disc so the small protrusion lines up with the gap on the flap, then slide the switch on and turn the front of the torch to bring the picture into focus. It runs on three LR44 button batteries, which are included, and instructions come with it. To keep it looking its best, wipe the plastic over with a soft, dry cloth. Its illustrated box, decorated with a spider, a snail and a stoat, makes it a cheerful little present that is easy to wrap.
