Seven-Colour Ocean Projector with Crab and Octopus

4.6

The newest of the three and the only one a baby can operate without help. One wide button sits on top of the dome, and pressing it changes the colour of the whole room.

$24.99

Price and stock are held by the partner store and can change at any time.

  • A single round button on the top face is large enough for a palm, so cause and effect belongs to the baby rather than the adult.
  • A crab, an octopus and a stand of seaweed turn through seven colour modes instead of one fixed scene.
  • Six animal calls, five tunes, five nursery rhymes and seven instrument sounds, with five volume steps between quiet and the kitchen.
  • The three wheels both roll and glide, which gives a slightly longer run across a hard floor than a pure roll would.
  • BPA-free housing, rounded shoulders, and a screwed battery compartment. Three AA cells are not in the box.

Why we made it this way

Giving a baby the button changes what the toy teaches. Instead of watching lights that an adult started, a baby presses, something happens, and the connection between the two gets made again and again until it is obvious.

Seven colour modes sounds like a specification and behaves like a reason to keep going. A baby who has learned the press will sit through every colour to find out whether there is another one.

Volume steps are worth reading before the first use. The lowest setting is intended for a cot-side evening and the highest for a room with other children in it; most families settle two steps up and leave it there.
