Since the clocks changed, it gets dark at six and the evenings feel long. It’s the perfect time to think about the bedtime routine: bath time, pyjamas, soft lighting and those final stories that every family ends up cherishing.
A few months ago, we said goodbye to the Lumi musical projector. It had become one of our customers’ favourite newborn gifts, and we missed it almost as much as you did. But Little L hasn’t stood still, and now it’s back with new additions for the whole routine.
The new Dream Projectors
Little L is launching its Dream Projectors collection: animal-shaped musical projectors, with a choice of whale, turtle, fox or kitten. More versatile than ever, with a design children will love having on their bedside table.
Here’s what they offer, using the blue whale as an example:
- 6 interchangeable projection discs to change the scenery whenever you like.
- Rotation to move the images, with several light modes and adjustable brightness.
- 9 relaxing melodies and 3 nature sounds.
- Bluetooth to play your own music, from a lullaby to your usual playlist.
- Remote control included so you can operate it without getting out of bed.
- Timer set for 15, 30 or 60 minutes, so it switches off automatically.
- USB-C rechargeable.
The routine starts in the bath (and the toy doesn’t end up in the bin)
Little L is also launching illuminated bath toys, available in two versions: sea animals (whale, seahorse and starfish) or boats (boat, sailboat and submarine). They switch on automatically when they touch the water and display a sequence of 7 colours.
But the best thing isn’t the light—it’s what happens when it goes out. Many illuminated toys are thrown away when the battery runs out and end up in the bin even though they’re still like new. These won’t: each figure takes a replaceable battery, with approximately 40 hours of battery life. When it runs out, you replace it and the toy keeps going. They are the first illuminated bath toys with replaceable batteries that we’ve brought to Älva, and they arrive just when we’re looking for things that last.
They are also made from ultra-soft silicone, with shapes that are easy for little hands to explore, and they switch off automatically when out of the water. They’re perfect for making up stories and discovering cause and effect: touch the water and the light comes on. Recommended age: 3 years and up.
A gift that hits the mark
If you’re looking for a gift for a newborn (or their family), the projector is one of those gifts that will be used every night and remembered. The bath toys are perfect for birthdays and Christmas, for ages 3 and up. And at Älva, we’ll wrap them as a gift and include a card without prices, just in case you need to exchange them.
