Whether it is intentional or not, the appearance of the Deep Space Home Planetarium and Projector bears a resemblance to the much-loved Star Wars character R2-D2. The unit can be adjusted to four different angles, making it flexible enough to project onto the wall or ceiling. If all you're looking for is a back-to-basics, simple laser pointer to fill your child's room with stars, again BlissLights have the tiny BlissLights StarPort USB projector which would fit the bill, although only for children who are the appropriate age and won't look directly into the laser beam. When it's dark, the resulting image is nice and clear, and it's possible for the projection to be as big as 3. Please note: a signature is required for most deliveries so please choose an address where someone is in.

We haven't tested it, but we can imagine if it were to be dropped onto a hard surface, it would probably get damaged as with most devices containing electronic components with plastic construction. BlissLights Starport USB star projector A pocketable device for adding instant ambiance to parties, gaming rooms, music studios or spas, but we use the term star projector very loosely. It covers up to 30ft x 30ft, turning your space into a beautiful and ethereal sensory experience with laser 'stars' that you can gaze at for hours.

The Sega Toys Homestar Flux stands at the top of our list as a compact and stylish star projector, known for its power and sleek design. Hello Louise, Thank-you for your five star review on our solar system projector we are so pleased that your son loves the product and that it is easy to use by himself. You want a lot of customization: Although the laser 'stars' can only appear as blue or green (depending on which model you get), the clouds offer a lot of color customization through the app.

The optics are from the German optics brand Bresser, known for producing binoculars, telescopes and microscopes. Add the night light dome and deep space becomes a cool night light with rotating stars and constellations. We especially liked the ability to adjust both brightness and projection speed, making it perfect for creating a serene environment to relax in or an energetic party scene.We cannot be held responsible for any misuse of items where physical force has been used to damage the product or where it had been used in a manner that it was not designed for. This gives it a slight edge over the Encalife Atmosphere Smart Galaxy Smart Projector, which has similar specs but can only be used in four fixed positions. On the app, you'll see a color wheel with a broad spectrum of tones, ranging from cool blue to warm fiery red. You're on a budget: This is the most expensive option on this list, so if you're on a budget, there are more suitable options that perform almost just as well. Adjusting the clarity of the projection is easy by turning the focus wheel — perfect if you move it between different surfaces or rooms.

Brainstorm Toys Deep Space Home Planetarium Star Projector A neat little STEM toy with multiple functions. Looking for a good quality projector that is easy to use and provides you with the freedom to project wherever you want?During our Atmosphere Smart Galaxy Projector review, we were impressed by its sleek design that's sure to delight many. We recommend re-using the packaging the item was sent in, if this is not possible you need to ensure the item will be well protected and kept dry in transit. It also has an automatic switch-off after 15, 30 or 60 minutes — great if you're using it to fall asleep and don't want to get up to turn it off!

Having completed a recent Brainstorm Toys Deep Space Home Planetarium and Star Projector review, we feel that it deserves a spot in this guide as a great STEM toy that will captivate kids ages 6+, and, in our opinion, spark their interest in all things space-related. The base can be turned around without the worry of little fingers getting stuck, providing a safe experience.Unlike devices like the National Geographic Astro Planetarium or the Encalife Aurora Borealis projector, there is no in-built speaker to play sounds or music alongside the projection to dampen the noise from the motor. Some models include swirling light patterns and small flashes of light, so they may not be suitable for babies with light sensitivities or conditions like epilepsy. A secret code included in the leaflet unlocks online space information; learn about the Universe – how big it is, what it’s made of and how it started with a Big Bang! The Atmosphere Smart Galaxy Projector comes with a USB power cable and attractive packaging, which would be lovely to receive as a gift. To summarize, if you don't want to spend too much and are looking for an educational but fun product for children age 6+, we don't think you can go too far wrong.
