The dim light automatically shuts off after 45 minutes, prolonging battery life and ensuring baby has enough time to drift asleep. Our favorite feature of all? The Twilight Turtle incorporates REAL constellations (eight to be exact!) in the star projections, making this an awesome educational toy. Because he’s a nightlight and a plush toy in one, he’s portable which means he travels when baby travels.
