    Animal night lights: find the perfect glowing companion for your child's bedroom

    Our range of animal night lights brings together bunnies, foxes, pandas, whales, unicorns and dinosaurs, in soft silicone, as plush toys, projectors or crystal balls. Unless the product page says otherwise, they can go in the bedroom from birth, and each product page states the age from which your child can handle the light on their own.

    Our animal night lights, theme by theme

    This table sorts the animals actually in the collection by theme, together with the formats listed on their product pages. It helps you spot your child's favourite animal at a glance, then the format that suits their age and bedroom. Cats and kittens have their own collection, cat night lights, from the touch silicone cat to the educational alarm clock.

    Baby animal night light: safety and a soft glow from birth

    For a newborn, an animal night light is a gentle landmark in the bedroom during night-time wake-ups. Our children's animal night lights can go in the bedroom from birth; what changes from one model to another is the age from which your child can pick it up.

    What to check on the product page

    • Recommended age: each product page states from what age your child can handle the night light, 18 months or 3 years depending on the format (details in the buying guide below).
    • Material: silicone dominates the collection, often listed as BPA-free on the product page; plush toys combine fabric and stuffing, crystal balls glass and wood.
    • Power: most models recharge via USB, with no cable at night; plush toys run on batteries, and a few wall or plug-in models are mains-powered.
    • Certification: CE and RoHS is stated on the product pages of our animal night lights.

    Handy features for new parents

    Beyond the light itself, several animal night lights have features that make nights easier: an automatic switch-off timer, a remote control to change the colour from bed, a motion sensor on some wall models, or white noise on the Jellyfish Night Light with White Noise and the bear and dog alarm clocks. You'll find more models like these in our range of kids' night lights, designed to grow with your little one.

    Woodland animal night lights: softness and a touch of the forest

    Foxes, owls, bunnies, bears, wolves and a raccoon: woodland animals make up the largest theme in the collection.

    The bunny comes in almost every format, from the little silicone bunny to the plug-in night light, by way of the plush, the alarm clock and the projector; you'll find them all in our bunny night lights collection. The fox comes in rechargeable silicone, as a 3D night light, as a neon night light and as a colour-changing version with a timer. Bunny, cat, panda, butterfly and dog paw designs also come as wall night lights, to fix to the wall rather than stand on a surface. Bears and teddy bears come in silicone, as a plush, as a plug-in, as an alarm clock and personalised with a name; you'll find them all in our bear night lights collection.

    The materials in this theme

    Woodland animals are mostly moulded in soft silicone, which fits in the hand and recharges via USB. The owl also comes as a crystal ball under the full moon, and the wolf as a light-up plush, for children who prefer a companion to cuddle.

    Jungle and savannah animal night lights: adventure and colour

    On the jungle side, the collection includes monkeys, tigers, sloths, crocodiles and frogs; on the savannah side, lions, giraffes, elephants and hippos.

    Classic night light or projection night light?

    Choosing between a silicone animal night light, such as a panda night light, and an animal projection night light depends on how you want to use it. Here are the differences noted on the product pages in the collection.

    Criterion Silicone animal night light Animal projection night light
    Light Soft halo around the animal Stars, galaxies or nebulae projected onto the ceiling
    Placement Bedside table, fits in the hand Stands on a piece of furniture, pointed at the ceiling
    Handling by the child From 18 months or 3 years, depending on the product page From 3 years
    Effect Reassuring presence, a night-time companion Wonder, a bedtime atmosphere

    For children who love the ocean, the whale night light, in silicone or with your child's name, takes the animal world all the way to the sea. Bunnies and dogs even head into space: they also come as an astronaut night light, projecting galaxies onto the ceiling.

    Buying guide: how to choose the right animal night light

    Your child's age, the power source and the features all change how an animal night light works day to day.

    Your child's age comes first

    Child's age What our product pages say Formats concerned
    From birth to 18 months From birth in the bedroom, out of the child's reach Models listed as "from birth in the bedroom"
    From 18 months Can be handled by the child for models listed at 18 months Small soft silicone animals
    From 3 years Can be handled by the child for models listed at 3 years Plush toys, alarm clocks, projectors, crystal balls, 3D night lights, personalised models

    Battery life and power

    • USB rechargeable: the most common option in the collection, with no cable at night, handy for taking the night light to the grandparents'.
    • Batteries: plush night lights, and some 3D night lights that take either USB or three AA batteries.
    • Wired USB or mains: crystal balls, models personalised with a name, wall and plug-in night lights, which stay in one place.

    The features that really make a difference

    A touch sensor lets your child switch the light on or change the brightness with a simple tap on the animal. On colour-changing models, the product pages most often list 7 colours, and up to 16 colours on several 3D night lights and on the Multicolour Panda Night Light. The timer switches the light off by itself, so nobody has to get up.

    Fantasy animal night lights: unicorns, dragons and imaginary creatures

    Alongside real animals, imaginary creatures have their place in the bedroom too. The unicorn night light comes in silicone, in 3D, as a plush, as an alarm clock, as a crystal ball and with your child's name. The dragon comes in portable silicone and as an engraved crystal ball.

    Dinosaur and prehistoric animal night lights: a world of their own

    Our dinosaur night lights are a world of their own: tyrannosaurus, spinosaurus, velociraptor and triceratops as colour-changing 3D night lights, little silicone dinosaurs, and a dinosaur projection night light that projects nebulae and waves onto the ceiling.

    Animal night light FAQ

    From what age can you give an animal night light?

    An animal night light can go in the bedroom from birth, unless its product page says otherwise. The age for handling depends on the model and is shown on each product page: from 18 months for most small soft silicone animals, from 3 years for plush toys, alarm clocks, projectors, crystal balls and 3D night lights.

    Is an animal night light safe for a child?

    The product pages of our animal night lights state CE and RoHS certification and the recommended handling age. Several pages also mention BPA-free silicone and an LED that doesn't get hot. Before handing the night light to your child, check the age shown on the page of the model you have chosen.

    Animal night light in silicone or plush?

    A silicone animal night light fits in the hand, recharges via USB and can often be handled from 18 months. A plush night light can be cuddled like a comforter, runs on batteries and is suitable from 3 years. Silicone suits the bedside table, plush suits children who fall asleep hugging their companion.

    Rechargeable or battery-powered animal night light?

    Most animal night lights in the collection recharge via USB: no batteries to change and no cable at night. Plush night lights run on batteries, and some 3D night lights take either USB or AA batteries. Crystal balls and name-personalised models plug in via USB.

    How do you clean an animal night light?

    To clean a silicone animal night light, switch it off and unplug it, then wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth, without abrasive products. A light-up plush or a crystal ball can simply be dusted with a soft, dry cloth, always with the night light switched off.

    Woodland, jungle or savannah: which theme should you choose?

    The right theme is the one with the animal your child already loves. The woodland brings together bunnies, foxes, bears and owls; the jungle, monkeys, tigers and sloths; the savannah, lions, giraffes, elephants and hippos. The sea and fantasy creatures complete the collection for children who prefer whales or unicorns.

    Does an animal night light help with fear of the dark?

    An animal night light leaves a soft glow in the bedroom, and the shape of a familiar animal can make the dark feel less daunting. A timer then switches it off by itself once your child is asleep. If the fear of the dark lasts or gets worse, talk to your doctor.

    Can you personalise an animal night light with a name?

    Yes, several animal night lights in the collection carry your child's name: whale, lion, giraffe, elephant, koala, teddy bear, dinosaur, unicorn and baby unicorn. The name is engraved on the night light, which plugs in via USB and is suitable from 3 years. All our night lights with a name are brought together in our personalised night light collection.
