Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Flash Firefly Bug Flashlight for Kids

This is seriously far better than I could have hoped for. My toddler expressed that he felt scared in the dark, so I started looking for an appropriate flashlight for him to have in bed with him at night. This one is comically dim to an adult but absolutely perfect for a toddler, gives confidence and a light but It is also totally fine when they fall asleep with it shining in their face. Speaking of falling asleep with it, no, it does not have an automatic shutoff, but we are a month in of using it every night and he leaves it on every night all night and we are still in the first set of batteries! Amazing! I have a 2.5-3yr old using it and the on/off switch is not a problem at all for him to find and use in his own. It’s also super cute on top of everything else! Love this so much! Can’t recommend it enough!

The first one I received didn't work. Amazon shipped a new one out ASAP with no questions asked. GREAT customer service. My 3 year old loves playing with his flashlight and searching for "treasure". He has dropped it multiple times and it is working fine. The button has to be pushed over to the on position. He had no problems with that operation since almost all of his toys are that way. Cute sturdy flashlight for small klutzy hands.

My daughter has recently been asking to bring books into her crib to "read" after she gets oeut down for the night. This flashlight is perfect because it's not burn-your-retinas-out bright like every other flashlight I've found. People on here are complaining because it's too dim, but it's perfect for a reading light or really for any kind of toddler activity because the first thing they do is shine it in their own eyes, and the second thing they do is shine it in yours. If you're looking for something you can see from space, get any other LED flashlight on here. If you're looking for a gentle, not super bright toddler flashlight, this one is a big win.

Both of my kids like having a flashlight in their beds at night. I searched high and low for one that was easy to turn on/off and also wasn't billed as *can be seen from 25 miles away* level of brightness. This perfectly fits that. It's very kid-friendly, bright but not bright enough to disturb sleep. It's easy enough for little kids to turn on/off. My only complaint is that the switch needs a little more resistance actually. There's minimal "barrier" between on/off so it frequently accidentally switches on or off.

My son absolutely loves the flashlight this is his third favorite toy but unfortunately this probably will not happen to most people my son threw it down the hallway for the sixth time and the spot where you're supposed to put a little neck lanyard through snapped right off and we had to file it down so that wasn't sharp But survived and almost every night making shadow puppets or looking inside of bags or closet or at pictures of animals in books and so on so I highly recommend maybe for a child not quite as destructive as mine I like to say he's free spirited as opposed to destructive but I digress go ahead buy it it's cute spend your money it's worth it

Im a big fan of melissa & doug products so this one made me kind of sad, but the little switch to turn it on and off really doesn't work well. It doesn't actually click into place for either so its really easy to bump and turn on or off. Hopefully I just got a defective one cause its really so cute. But I cant be too upset for the price

My 3 year old is newly terrified of the dark so we got him this to keep in his bed. I like that the button to turn on/off is easy enough for him to do by himself. Perfect size and battery life is longer than I anticipated.

The quality is disappointing. Light often flickers and sometimes shuts off entirely (within seconds of turning on). Have only been using for a few weeks. The on switch is also frustrating since it doesn’t produce a click or anything and requires a little extra force to push it all the way to the end. Not ideal for toddlers. Not sure if I just got a faulty one but sadly too late to return (it was a gift and sat around for a few weeks). Paint job is also sloppy.

My toddler freaking loves flashlights. This one has all the great features such as, an on AND off switch. The light seems fairly durable as my toddler kept on shining me in the eyes one particular night, I ended up bucking it against his wall and man let me tell you this thing can take a punch. To that end on another particularly frustrating night I stormed into his room to yell at him for screwing around and ruining an intimate night with the Mrs. And I stepped on this flash light and I ain’t light weighing in at 240 lbs. man let me tell you when I got it back to our room the Mrs and I have no problem turning it on ;). 5 stars

Ordered it a few months back and stashed it away for my son’s birthday. When we got it out to use it, it just…doesn’t work. You have to jam the switch forward and it briefly flickers on, then switches off again. We’re outside the return window but hopefully this review saves someone else wasting their money on this.

A la fecha está lámpara ha funcionado muy bien, no se ha roto a pesar de las caídas que ha sufrido, el diseño es agradable, luz tenue para no encandilar, resultó ser buen producto.

Softer torch than the regular torches so safe for kids but the finishing could be better. Not at the quality of regular Melissa and Doug products

As a toy, this is very cute, a good size, no sharp corners, etc. But as a flashlight it is quite feeble, flickers on and off as the batteries wobble around inside, and casts a very dim beam. Now I know we're not looking for anything super bright for kids, but this could have been done better and been a functional toy for looking under the bed, banishing monsters from the closet, etc, rather than dim and flickering.
