Twilight Turtle

I don't know if any of you parents have seen this thing called the "Twilight Turtle." It's carried at Buy Buy Baby and is meant to be a nursery item, but we actually bought one through a sensory catalog. It's a turtle that's shell lights up in three different colors, and casts stars onto the ceiling. I wasn't sure if the kids would get much use out of it, but thought it might be cool to turn on with the lights out during sensory time. I brought it out today for the first time, and every single one of the elementary students was in love! They liked seeing the stars on the ceiling, casting stars onto each other, and seeing them glow on their shirts and arms. Since the kids were liking using the turtle so much, we actually decided to turn it into an art project, and used different shaped hole punchers to cut holes in card stock. Then we held them over flashlights to create different shapes. It was a lot of fun! Anyway, if any of you parents are looking for a new sensory item, I can assure you the Twilight Turtle is pretty cool :D
