Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Flash Firefly Bug Flashlight for Kids

This thing is GOATed. My daughter has kept it on for like the past 3 months and it just keeps going. Works every time. Lasts very long time. Light isn't super bright but it's a kid's flashlight.

My daughter has recently been asking to bring books into her crib to "read" after she gets oeut down for the night. This flashlight is perfect because it's not burn-your-retinas-out bright like every other flashlight I've found. People on here are complaining because it's too dim, but it's perfect for a reading light or really for any kind of toddler activity because the first thing they do is shine it in their own eyes, and the second thing they do is shine it in yours. If you're looking for something you can see from space, get any other LED flashlight on here. If you're looking for a gentle, not super bright toddler flashlight, this one is a big win.

I bought this for my 3 year old flashlight-obsessed son. He uses it to "read" books in bed. I seems to be durable and does the job. The only complaint I would have is that it doesn't turn off automatically, but that actually makes my son happy (the kind that do turn off automatically frustrated him), and we've only had to switch it off when he fell asleep with it on once.

Adorable flashlight, but it’s always on! Wish the button to turn this on/off was a little better, because my son likes to carry this in his tool bag, but it turns on when the button is just slightly touched (which is all the time in a bag full of tools). That being said, the battery life on this thing is great, because it has yet to die even though it’s turned on more than it’s turned off.

This is seriously far better than I could have hoped for. My toddler expressed that he felt scared in the dark, so I started looking for an appropriate flashlight for him to have in bed with him at night. This one is comically dim to an adult but absolutely perfect for a toddler, gives confidence and a light but It is also totally fine when they fall asleep with it shining in their face. Speaking of falling asleep with it, no, it does not have an automatic shutoff, but we are a month in of using it every night and he leaves it on every night all night and we are still in the first set of batteries! Amazing! I have a 2.5-3yr old using it and the on/off switch is not a problem at all for him to find and use in his own. It’s also super cute on top of everything else! Love this so much! Can’t recommend it enough!

Im a big fan of melissa & doug products so this one made me kind of sad, but the little switch to turn it on and off really doesn't work well. It doesn't actually click into place for either so its really easy to bump and turn on or off. Hopefully I just got a defective one cause its really so cute. But I cant be too upset for the price

My2 1/2-year-old granddaughter absolutely loves it

Before going into the details of my review, the flashlight seems to be an okay product. It’s fairly weightless even with the batteries installed and the on/off button is easy to maneuver for a child. I bought this toy for my toddler so that I don’t have to use my phone’s flashlight at bedtime for shadow game (my cell phone is pretty heavy should it hit my kid on the head). That said, my issue is mainly with the damaged packaging (reading the reviews, I’m not the only one to complain about that) and Amazon’s initial lack of good customer service. So, what happened was that I had placed an order for a NEW flashlight, but what arrived was clearly a used item (flashlight had pen markings) that was shoddily repackaged with tape. I don't even know how Amazon thought that's acceptable. When I called to report the issue, I was only offered a replacement and asked to have the damaged packaging item returned to the nearest UPS/Whole Foods. When I thought about it the next day, I was quite irked that there was no acknowledgement on Amazon’s part for not having met customer expectations and for the inconvenience caused to the customer for not only having to wait for the replacement item (I needed it urgently for a birthday gift) but also expecting them to take time out of the day to drop off the item. In spite of those feelings, as a compromise, I asked for a discount on the damaged packaging item because the flashlight seemed to work and I didn’t have the time to do the return before a long out-of-town trip. Disappointingly, the best Amazon could offer me was 25% off with no option for return if the toy did in fact malfunction. As a counter, I asked for 50% off, but the agent had to speak with a manager for that and I was put on hold for a long time. After being on the phone for over 30 minutes for an issue I thought was an easy resolve for Amazon, I decided to hang up. I called back later explaining the situation and expressing my frustration to the next rep, who was much more sensitive to the issues I raised about Amazon failing to meet expectations and not hesitating to inconvenience their customer for an error that was of Amazon’s making. The rep apologized and as compensation he not only gave me a full refund (without expectation to return the used item), but also asked me to keep the replacement flashlight. Even though the toy wouldn’t arrive on time for my need, I was satisfied with the end resolution, which should have been the case to begin with.

This was the best option I could find with enough trust to give to my toddler. Works great, seems durable, and get to the battery without a screwdriver. No complaints here

Ordered it a few months back and stashed it away for my son’s birthday. When we got it out to use it, it just…doesn’t work. You have to jam the switch forward and it briefly flickers on, then switches off again. We’re outside the return window but hopefully this review saves someone else wasting their money on this.

A la fecha está lámpara ha funcionado muy bien, no se ha roto a pesar de las caídas que ha sufrido, el diseño es agradable, luz tenue para no encandilar, resultó ser buen producto.

Softer torch than the regular torches so safe for kids but the finishing could be better. Not at the quality of regular Melissa and Doug products

As a toy, this is very cute, a good size, no sharp corners, etc. But as a flashlight it is quite feeble, flickers on and off as the batteries wobble around inside, and casts a very dim beam. Now I know we're not looking for anything super bright for kids, but this could have been done better and been a functional toy for looking under the bed, banishing monsters from the closet, etc, rather than dim and flickering.
