Night light in the children’s room: 5 cute shapes for little dreamers

Many children are afraid of the dark. Some then don’t want to sleep in their children’s room at all, but rather with mum and dad. Night lights can help here. They emit a pleasantly dimmed light and also soothe children with their cute shapes – maybe even the little ones’ favorite animal will watch over their sleep.

If your child is afraid of the dark, this is absolutely normal. Many children go through this stage and find it difficult to sleep alone in their room. To make it easier for them to sleep at night and to take away their fears, there are special night lights in cute forms of animals, plants or mythical creatures such as unicorns. Not only do they provide pleasantly dimmed light that does not interfere with sleep, they also give children a feeling of security and security.

Heaven on earth: night light with a starry sky

A starry sky is calming and fascinating for big and small children alike. The lights for the children’s room are usually colorful and do not project a real-looking sky onto the ceiling like a starlight projector would. The colorful lights look more like cute cartoon drawings.

It’s especially cute when the night light disguises itself as a stuffed animal, like this one Starlight Jamara Kids in the form of a turtle. The light projector is hidden in the toad’s shell and is therefore not visually noticeable.

Magic in the children’s room: night light with unicorn

There is nothing better for little princesses and prince charming than a soft night light with a unicorn, right? Such a cute children’s light with soft, dimmed and very orange light will help your little darling to fall asleep peacefully and not feel scared when waking up in the night. The familiar and cute shape makes your child think of beautiful stories of unicorns and dream castles.

You can place the light directly by or on your child’s bed, perhaps nicely draped between pillows. Then your child will have the feeling of being protected by a fabulous unicorn while sleeping.

Strong support: night light with elephants

Elephants are among the favorite animals of many children. And why not – after all, the pachyderms have very close social ties and protect their smallest herd members with full force. Children usually learn this in their children’s books. The mighty animals still radiate a lot of calm, cosiness and gentleness. Perfect for keeping your child safe while they sleep.

You can place a night light in the shape of an elephant as a small figure on the bedside table or attach it to the headboard of the cot. Larger lights can move onto the bed, between the pillows and stuffed animals, creating a safe snuggle spot for your child.

Not just for Easter: night light in the shape of a rabbit

Rabbits are very popular with children: the cute little animals are fluffy and appeal to little people with their sweet faces. They are a popular motif in cartoons and are a natural part of children’s lives. If you don’t want to get your little darling a real rabbit, you can create a good mood with a cute night light.

The bunnies usually have a typically sweet cartoon face and are reminiscent of an Easter bunny from children’s books. The familiar figure can soothe your child and gently rock him back to sleep even after bad dreams.

For little sailors: An anchor as a child’s light

Your family has a passion for the sea and your children are already little water babies? Then an anchor as a children’s light fits perfectly into your children’s room. The anchor is particularly good between cute cuddly toys from the underwater world. Add a few pillows with a nautical look – and the bed for little sailors is complete.

The anchor as a night light can also serve as a “safe haven” for your child if they wake up at night and feel uncomfortable in the dark.
