Moon In My Room

What’s different about the moon tonight? It’s inside your room! Authentically detailed, Moon In My Room hangs on your wall and shines moonlight just like the real moon. Twelve different phase settings let you match what the real moon looks like outside tonight! Listen to the included audio CD to learn exciting facts about the moon and its unique relationship with planet Earth.
I have seen boys and girls ages 2 to 8 captivated by Uncle Milton’s “Moon in My Room.” As an adult, frankly I think it’s pretty cool too!
The moon model has a contured, textured surface. It is a couple of inches thick, curved, so it has real depth. The moon cycles through 12 different phases. I have not seen any evidence of the light turning on automatically after dark, as advertised, but it works fine manually or by activating the automatic 5-seconds per phase cycle. The moon is lit up from a light within and the plastic does not glow in the dark when it is turned off.
The Moon in My Room is advertised as appropriate for ages 6 and up, but since it’s mounted on the wall I don’t see why it can’t go in a toddler’s room as long as the remote control is secured. I will echo a previous reviewer’s comment that you need to keep track of the remote, as I don’t think it would work otherwise.

Great Accessory in My Kids Room
The Moon In My Room was a great addition to my 6 year old’s space themed bedroom. Love that it has a remote so he can change the moon on his own.
Well this was a big hit and the whole family enjoyed it a lot – for about 2 days- then one of the lights went out. We opened up the back and found that the lights are LEDs so they are not replaceable. This was a huge disappointment. I looked at the instructions and it said before you return call Uncle Milton. So we did – every day this week – and they keep saying they are closed for the holiday which was 3 days ago. I contacted the seller and am hoping for an exchange. If it works… it is awesome!

Very Nice Lightlight
This is so cool. Has two modes: one where it changes every 5 seconds, two where you set the moon phase and it doesn’t change.

Put to a Different Use! Mythology!
Most people obtain this product for a child’s room as either a night light or a toy. Actually, I use it a lot differently: as an engaging teaching tool for my college mythology…
This item works perfectly for a night light, probably one of the coolest night light’s out there. It is perfect for kids that are afraid of the dark. It can be left in any phase of the moon, which helps control the amount of light being emitted. It can also be set to automatically change phases every five seconds. Of course, it is also a learning device, showing the various phases of the moon up close and comes with a cd, which we haven’t listened to yet. I like the automatic shut off feature, so it doesn’t matter if it is left on, which is handy at night. My first thought was that it appeared cheap and could have been slightly more realistic, so 4 stars.

Got it for baby, but we love it too
We bought this as a nightlight for our little guy, and ended up loving it ourselves. All features worked as advertised, and it looks great in the dark.

I would not describe this as simply a toy. It is an interesting, unique, and educational product for all ages.

Wonderful
Ever since I first pointed out the moon to my daughter when she was eighteen months old, she has had a deep fascination with the moon.

The coolest nightlight ever.
Although it will eat through 4 AA batteries in about a month of regular use, this moon-in-my-room is the best nightlight ever. It’s the perfect gift for all ages.
