Laser Star Showers

For some time now Braeden has had an astronomy tool on his wishlist. It's one of those planetarium's that shows all of the constellations on your ceiling. I haven't purchased it yet because he is so young and even though he says he wants it I'm just not sure he can appreciate it yet.

Then I stumbled across a similar gadget on the Edmund Scientific site, a Laser Star Shower projector. You turn the projector on in a dark room and it instantly fills not only the ceiling but the entire area with stars and cloud formations. There's not much more interesting to children than glowing holograms, but when you add in animation and shooting stars there's no way you can go wrong. I think this could be just the thing to help him fall asleep and stay in his room without feeling scared.

Beyond the scope of being fun for children, it would also be romantic to lay on the floor or bed with Brian and watch the nebula cloud formations.

If you are interested in being geeky with me and my family you should peruse www.scientificsonline.com. I remember when there was a World of Science store in our local mall and this is even better. The gadgets available here are just so cool.

Science has never been so fun!
