Imagine bringing your kids’ favourite books to life and setting their imaginations alight.
You can do this (and more!) with an incredible product that magically transforms your mobile phone into a storybook projector for a truly special storytime.
It’s called Moonlite and it takes storytime to a whole new level of wonder for the entire family. In fact, remember the old viewfinders we used to play with as kids? Well, Moonlite is kind of like that – but 1,000 times cooler!
Inspired by a daughter’s love of making shadows on her wall before bedtime, the Moonlite Storybook Projector is a nifty little gadget that attaches to almost any mobile phone. Then, using the phone’s flashlight, it projects beautiful story images onto the wall or ceiling – making storytelling even more fun and memorable.
Of course, on hearing about Moonlite we wanted to see if it really is as awesome as it sounds. So, we invited four of our favourite influencers to trial and review it. Find out if it created bedtime story bliss for our reviewers.

They were engaged in the whole process; setting it up, choosing the story, reading, watching – it was really fun for all,” – Sara

[mc_block_title custom_title=”Easy, engaging & more: five things to love about Moonlite”]
1. Easy to set up and use
I love how simple and easy it is to use as a whole. Downloading the app and setting up/ activating a story is really easy. It’s hassle-free to set up and begin engaging with the stories.”
2. Engaging and interactive
It’s a wonderful way to get kids excited about stories and reading. Moonlite is a great tool for early literacy development and I really enjoy that it’s still us reading the story (as opposed to an audiobook, which are so often in different accents).”
3. Great for all ages
I love how open-ended it is and that it can be used with children of different ages. My toddler loves the sounds and images, while my school-aged child is supported to continue developing her reading skills.”
4. Just the right amount of technology
It’s a really great way to add a small amount of technology to the children’s routine, without losing engagement between us and the kids. With Moonlite, they are still having a chance to interact and learn about technology while keeping in line with the fundamentals of storytime, learning and connection.”
5. No more bedtime battles
Moonlite has made such a difference to bedtime for our family. The kids are engaged and look forward to their Moonlite story each night. Plus, because it’s a treat, we only use it at bedtime; this helps get the kids into bed without the usual arguments and delays.”
