We set out to make a toy that our toddlers could enjoy with or without their parents. We purposefully designed Night Lights to not annoy parents while still being engaging to toddlers and babies. Thoroughly tested with our actual real life children from 1-3 years old who all love it. Important Note: No In-App Purchases. No Ads. Ever. Toddlers can't accidentally buy something or click on an ad in this app. What Toddlers Can Do in the Toy: - Tap shapes to spin the shapes, light up the screen, and play gentle musical sounds from a pentatonic scale (all the sounds sound great together) - Colors and shapes change every time you tap the lightbulb - Create star trails on the screen by dragging their fingers around the screen Notes for Parents: - Great teaching tool for learning shapes and colors - Keep your toddler engaged for minutes at a time - Maximum volume of the app is set to be low even if the volume of the device is cranked up
