Anyone that knows me knows how much I love penguins, so the Pabobo Lumilove Penguin* (£38) instantly appealed to me. The Lumilove Penguin is a multifunctional product that can be enjoyed from birth onwards. It's also incredibly cute and looks adorable sitting in Isabella's nursery.
Children can enjoy playing with the penguin during the day - read it stories, make a home for it or just have a good old chat with it. Isabella loves chattering away to her Lumilove Penguin and it's really good for her gross motor skills, as it takes a good amount of coordination to be able to grab and pull the penguin towards her. Also since she's starting crawling a fun game is chasing it around her bedroom, so adorable!
But it's at night time that the Lumilove Penguin really comes alive - it gently shines and plays calming music for 15 minutes. A brilliant feature is that it won't heat up, despite giving off light. This means it can be hugged under bedsheets and it won't get hot...perfect for a child who is scared of the dark. A little bit of light and music can have just the calming influence needed to send a child back to sleep, as well as offering extra comfort.
To activate the Penguin all you have to do is lift it from its base...it's that easy! It will then start to gently shine and play a soothing melody. We've been using it just as Isabella is going to sleep because she prefers having a little bit of light in her room. She finds the music so reassuring, as I think silence makes her feel alone, so she cries straight away for us.
Once fully charged the Lumilove Penguin lasts up to 11 hours before it needs recharging again. To charge it up all you have to do is place it on its base. This makes it easy for older children to recharge the Penguin themselves, as there is no messing around with wires and plugging parts in. I'm seriously impressed with how long the Penguin lasts before it needs recharging again. As it recharges on the base you'll never need to replace any batteries or replace any bulbs either.

I like the fact that you can recharge it, so you don't need to keep buying batteries. It's also nice that you don't have to actually plug in the penguin, just place it on its base, so you can keep leads out of reach of little fingers. If I were to suggest another animal, it would have to be a sheep, my daughter has always loved them.
ReplyDeleteThe length of time between charges
ReplyDeleteMy favourite feature is the calming music :) and if I could have one in any animal it would be a frog!
ReplyDeleteI love the battery life xx
ReplyDeleteThe fact it doesn't heat up is brilliant. Maybe a whale (nursery theme) or a bear would be nice. X
ReplyDeleteI love that it provides the right amount of light for up to 11 hours x
