 So cool! Unique addition to any kid's room. April 22, 2007

I have seen boys and girls ages 2 to 8 captivated by Uncle Milton's "Moon in My Room." As an adult, frankly I think it's pretty cool too!
The moon model has a contured, textured surface. It is a couple of inches thick, curved, so it has real depth. The moon cycles through 12 different phases. I have not seen any evidence of the light turning on automatically after dark, as advertised, but it works fine manually or by activating the automatic 5-seconds per phase cycle. The moon is lit up from a light within and the plastic does not glow in the dark when it is turned off.
The Moon in My Room is advertised as appropriate for ages 6 and up, but since it's mounted on the wall I don't see why it can't go in a toddler's room as long as the remote control is secured. I will echo a previous reviewer's comment that you need to keep track of the remote, as I don't think it would work otherwise.
Moon in my Classroom! March 9, 2007

I am teaching 1st-3rd graders basic astronomy. Every morning at our meeting someone uses the Moon in My Room to demonstrate the phases. They understand how to read a lunar calendar, and can use it to figure out the phase for the day if they did not see the moon the previous day or night. The remote control is a little tricky and getting little kids to use it well is a challenge, but they can all name the phases as someone clicks through them using this tool. It's great that the maria are portrayed so realistically, as the kids have learned how to tell if the moon phase is waxing or waning by looking at which maria are visible. It really helped them build understanding when they could touch the 'topography' and connect it with a photograph and map of the moon, and they were able to use the vocabulary they were studying to describe the surface. I am very grateful for this tool, as it has enhanced our learning dramatically.

Bought this for my son's room. He really loves the moon, so I thought what the heck. Brought him in and his jaw it the floor. He has played with this constantly. He likes to use is at a night light when he goes to bed. The 30 minute shut off feature is awesome. A must for anyone that has kids that like the moon!!!

We bought Uncle Milton Moon in My Room for our son's room. It is a wonderful addition to his "space room" and we like that it has a timer on it, so he can have it on before he goes to sleep.
Why not for yourself, too?! July 3, 2007

Come on, everyone! Why only buy this for your children? I am a thirty-something adult and I have one in my room. It's great to just turn off all the lights and lie down in bed or sit in my comfy chair and listen to music by moonlight. Don't sell yourself short. Add some atmosphere to your own room. It's a great product and eerily realistic (in a good way).
