Moonlite 6045269 Special Edition Eric Carle Gift Pack, Storybook Projector for Smartphones with 5 Story Reels, for Ages 1 and Up, Multi Colour

What a brilliant idea. Our son absolutely loves storytime now and runs to bed because it cannot come soon enough for him! The calming backing music and interactive sounds that fit with the stories are really good. I grew up with Mr Men so I am pleased to be able to read this series to him, if only there were more! Couple of negatives, which are not that significant but worth knowing...The online shop via the app only ships to USA & Canada, which is fair enough. I feel that it would be possible to have different stories using the same slides either in the same or different direction.There is not a huge range of stories available, and single story reel purchases are quite expensive. ~£8The projector is rather fiddly and holding it, your phone all whilst keeping clear of your speaker & managing to swipe and change page is challenging, but if you can get into the grove it is well worth it.This is now a staple in oir bedtkme routine & despite the cost of additional story reels, due to how much we use them I expect we will buy more

This is such a fantastic product, especially for those who want to enjoy some reading time with their child. The only downside is you read from a screen and need your phone to project the images. My son loves this and we’ve purchased one for his best friend too!The Mr Men stories are all wonderful and we love the colourful images in our house. It’s especially nice to be able to project the images onto the ceiling when we do the bedtime story.The app is easy to find and download, the instructions are simple and you can be reading within a couple of minutes of opening the box.The app plays soothing background music as you read (but you can mute this is you wish) and certain words are highlighted in the text and have sound affects if you press on them. This is a fantastic feature to get your child to recognise certain words in the text.Honestly couldn’t recommend this product enough.

My daughter loves a book at bedtime, and this adds a bit of fun to it. We lay down on the bed together and project the pictures on the ceiling and read the story. Her favourite part is the sound effects, which I’m asked to press over and over again!The app is great, and you can share your books with up to 3 other people, so me and my husband can both have it all on our phones.Only downside is I find it a little awkward to use, it’s a struggle to get a good angle for both projecting and reading. I find laying down a little easier than doing it on the wall, but my arm usually starts to ache by the end of one story.

This set is really lovely and a fantastic idea! My four-almost five- year old little boy loved it, as proven by the gasps of wow and giggles at the added sound effects and begging for more stories!I noticed some people saying that it is difficult to attach and align properly, but honestly I found no difficulties at all, it gives you clear instructions on how to align the projector and the lens focuses easily by just adjusting the movable plastic toggle surrounding the lens.Overall i think it's a lovely idea for bedtime stories. The only thing that is a little annoying is all of the stories in the atorw only ship to US/CAN which is a bit unfortunate for the resr of the world, majority of whom are not in the US or CAN! Hopefully the makers will add morw options for customers elsewhere.Otherwise it's a lovely set and I recommend it.

Very good product my son (18m) loves it, it is a bit fiddly to get in the right spot for the light but the dial turns to make the image clearer on wall/ceiling as does any projector, its small, and the packaging looks like a book which I like as it can sit on the shelves with all his other books, worth buying.

The phone projector concept is good. It's fiddly to get he projector out of the box and makes a loud bang/pop when it does come out. There is only one song that plays for each of the 5 Mr Men stories (and the same song plays for the Peter Rabbit story too, which I bought separately.) The length of stories is fine. Some pages don't have sound effects which my toddler finds disappointing because he loves pushing the 'buttons' to hear the noises in relation to what's happening in the story. The illustrations are in good detail and the level of focus you can apply is decent also. I find it really tricky to get the reel out of the projector when we're ready for the next story. A bit of a mixed bag. Glad I bought it but for the price I think a few improvements could be made. The pricing is a bit nuts; the single stories without projector costing around 6 quid and this package - 5 stories plus projector - costing around 15. A good Christmas present, cute stories but a bit pricey for what it is and does.

I purchased this as part of a birthday present for my son (4) turns out all my kids (7&8) love it and often ask to join in with the youngest story time

Love this got it for my Grandson, but have also bought other ones for birthday presents for my friends children.

Great alternative to books, only real gripe is with the projector and app itself. Besides there always being some blurry spot on the projected picture regardless of projector placement or focusing, the app doesn't offer placement bullseyes for newer model phones which makes lining it up a chore.Would still recommend though, cool idea even if it is a tad on the expensive side.

This is my 15 month olds favorite part of the day. She gets so excited and if we project it on the wall she can point out different objects like the blue horse or yellow duck so it’s educational too.We had a similar flashlight based device with her older sister and 4/5 year olds think this is just as cool. The moonlite has a far superior image to what we used before and its easy to adjust to be sharp and clear with quite vivid colors in a dark room. Many similar projectors just have a weak image. That said changing from image to image while reading and pressing sound effects is a little finicky. It’s build well enough but could be slightly sturdier and definitely the adult should be in charge. All in all its a great little system and a convenient way to bring stories and a little magic with you when you travel too.Adding a photo from what was actually a fairly lit room (light coming in from the hall). The image is still really bright but maybe that also depends on your phone.

My son loves his Moonlite Stories. This Mr Men pack is a lovely addition to our night story world.

My grandson loves having his mom read his favorite book, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, while following along with the pictures projected on the wall.

My little one (21m) loves it and asks us to read the stories over and over. Nice gift for toddlers, not manY words in each slide so perfect for young toddlers/babies
