Description
This little projector torch puts a whole space mission in your hand, shining pictures of rockets, astronauts, satellites and planets onto a wall or ceiling in a darkened room. It comes with two picture discs, each carrying eight space images, so there are sixteen scenes to work through before you start again. The body is bright blue plastic with a sunny yellow lens end, a yellow button on top to switch it on and a short bead chain at the far end for carrying it about. At 11cm long, 3cm wide and 3cm high, it sits easily in the hand or a coat pocket.
It is a toy made for play in the dark: lights off, curtains drawn, and the bedroom wall becomes a screen for a rocket launch or a walk in space. We like it for bedtime stories, where every new picture can open a new chapter, and for a sleepover or a rainy afternoon spent building a den. Because the pictures change at the turn of a wheel, it invites a little storytelling, whether that is a countdown, a moon landing or a tour of the planets. It is made for dry rooms indoors, and it is small enough to keep on a bedside table or slip into a gift bag.
One disc sits in the slot behind the lens, with the second ready to swap in once the first has gone round. It runs on three LR44 button batteries, which are included, and the instruction sheet asks you to remove the battery tab before using it for the first time. It arrives in a printed card box decorated with a rocket and a beam of torchlight, so it looks the part. Wipe the plastic with a soft dry cloth when needed, and it makes a cheerful little gift that ends the day among the stars.
