Learning Resources Solar Lantern, Exploration Play, Ages 3+

Gave each of my grandsons ages 3 and 5 one of these lanterns. It's difficult to find items that divert them from all of the gimmicky, current toys that in no way trigger the imagination. These do. No batteries. They charged immediately and the boys fell asleep with them on. I know they are going to provide hours of fun and creativity

Bought this for our grandson who is nearly 3 .He loves torches & lights and has a good imagination .He will love hiding with this solid little lantern and making dens .It has a perfect handle for little hands or for hanging up in a tent .It is a good size and the switch won't be a problem for him either.We have tried it out and the light is very good and how great that we don't have to keep buying batteries ! I can see that I will be buying more of these solar lanterns, they are the best on the market-have done lots of research.Great product & great site !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally a lantern/nightlight that doesn't require batteries! I've bought (and thrown away) too many products like this one. I had never heard of the Solar Lantern before so I was eager to try it out. My son used it outside when he was catching fireflies and it took a lot of throwing around and bumping, but it didn't affect it at all! It has a handle that is easy for kids to hold on to which is great. One of my favorite features is that when the lantern reaches 50% of use left it turns of to let you know! I love this! It gives me a gauge of about how long I have left. It stays lit for up to 15hrs. which is a considerable amount of time. The best feature by far is the solar panels/no batteries! Over the years I gone through more batteries than I can count. We've had a few lantern nightlight's that by the end of the night needed new batteries or they needed to recharge (if we used rechargeable ). This to me is such a waste. I'm surprised that there aren't more products like this on the market. I absolutely love this Solar Lantern and would highly recommend it for parents. It really has it all for latern!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loves this lantern. We received one to try through Viewpoints, and he took to it instantly. We put it in the window as soon as we took it out of the box for the sun to charge it. He was fascinated by the idea that it would store sunshine for him to let out later (easiest way to explain solar power to an almost 3 year old. Lol) He insisted on sleeping with it that night. He put it under his blanket and cuddled it all night long. He and his cousin ( girl, 3) love to huddle around the lantern with a blanket over their heads telling each other spooky stories. This lantern even helps my son with his fear of monsters in the dark. He has dropped the lantern several times, once onto a hard surface, and it doesn't even have a scratch. My son is pretty rough on his toys and this definitely withstands his abuse. Would recommend over and over to other parents!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received this item to review. From the moment we got it in the mail my three year old son was ecstatic! He couldn't wait to use his new lantern but it provided me a perfect opportunity to educate him on the use of solar power. We were able to help him easily understand that the sun was needed to power the battery and that if he wanted to use it later that night he had to place it in the sun that day. Since them he always tries to place it in the sun when it's low on power and has learned how helpful solar power can be. I'd buy this item for sure as it worked great, has held up to rough toddler play and provided a great initial science lesson with more to come I'm sure!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son uses it as a night light. He loves to take it outside and charge it in the sun. He says the lights look like fireflies and has questioned how it works. He also likes that he can put it on his table or in the bed and I love that I don't have to worry about batteries.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was not aware of the Solar Lantern before receiving it. Before the Lantern my 3 year old would use a flashlight when playing forts with blankets. Now that we have the Solar Lantern my 3 year old's imagination and play has grown! He lives to "camp" in his room with blankets all on the floor and pretends to cook food over the "campfire." The Solar Lantern lasts for multiple hours after charging it in the sun. It was a learning experience for my son to know how the sun works to charge the Lantern. I would recommend this Lantern for others with young children to help grow their imagination.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The solar lantern did exactly what it advertised to do. You place it outside in the sun and then it lights up. Directions were clear and simple to understand. I would definitely buy this toy. I was not aware of the Solar Lantern before participating in this program and I would recommend the Solar Lantern to others. My only reason for giving it four stars instead of five is I wish that the on/off button clicked when you turned it off/on. Otherwise, a great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave this to two of my grandchildren, ages 2 and 3. It has so many uses. They like bringing it in their "tent" so they can see better and read. They can use it outside to light their way. They use it at night before they go to bed. It's sturdy and withstands children's play. This is nice to have.
