Initially we though this was utterly terrible, considering the great reviews. Then realised that you need to turn the front part of torch to focus the image. From terrible to excellent in seconds.
I bought 3 different torches. I opened the sea life one and every single picture is blurry! Then realised I had to adjust the torch to make the pictures clear. But they are really cool.
The Natural History Museum Dinosaur Torch is a fun and educational toy for kids who love dinosaurs. The torch projects images of different dinosaurs onto walls and ceilings, and it also comes with a handy guide to help children learn more about each species. The design is colorful and engaging, and the torch is easy to use. Overall, it’s a great toy for sparking kids’ imaginations and helping them learn more about the fascinating world of dinosaurs.
Some people reviewed it saying it was blurry, or small, etc.. you need to adjust it to the right focus.. then it works fine and it is really cool. The kids were from 3 to 5, and all of them loved it.
It is true that it seems a bit overpriced.. maybe 4.99 a more reasonable and they would still make money? Anyway, that’s the only reason for the 4 stars..
Lovely little torch. Bought for my nephew for his birthday and he loved it.
It is the size of a small torch, so might not be too durable depending on usage.
Got this for my nephew who loves dinosaurs he enjoyed playing this torch and was amazed by all the different pictures but he’s five and it was a bit fidgety to put the discs in so had to do it for him. Better for a slightly older child or younger if you will change the discs for him. Great quality for the price
I bought this for my neighbours 3 Yr old son who is dinasaur mad! She actually messaged me boxing night to say he hadn’t put it down and asked where I got it.. Resul
Bought for my Grandson and he loves it, so good the picture quality was spot on. Deffo 5 stars
My grandson has had a great deal of pleasure with this torch, pictures are not very clear but you can just about make out what the pictures are. He takes it to bed with him for comfort in the dark.
The images are so clear and detailed. My grandson is Dinosaur mad and I got this to encourage him to get him wanting to go to bed at night. It sends him to sleep and he no longer moans about bed time. Brillia
Keeps the kids occupied, especially if you want to get them to bed.
Such a simple concept executed very well. It does look, at first glance, like just a torch with a few slides. And, indeed, that is what it is. But so much more. The creepy crawlies slides have great definition, but make sure it’s quite dark, and see how big you can make the images by walking further from them! Ooh! Rather cool. The focus works excellently, and for such a simple idea, it’s a big thumbs up from me and my 6 year old!
Although this says National History Museum ,it is similar to cheaper ones. At first, it seemed a failure as the picture was badly blurred even when very close to wall. However, a chance turning of the end cap/lens has improved it a lot. The projection is still very small but clear.
Easy to change picture disks, pictures very clear on wall and ceiling.
My Grandson loves i
Grandson who is 3 thought it was amazing to see dinosaurs on his ceiling and walls had lots of fu
Take batteries which is not to bad for him to play with for a we while
Bought for my 3 1/2 year old grandson as a stocking filler. He soon mastered the picture wheels, but they are small and he managed to lose one Christmas Day. Torch is small, so perfect for little hands. Not sure how durable it will be. However, it was a hugh hit for a dinosaur loving grand son.
This was a Christmas present for a 5 year old. He absolutely loved it! Only praise from his mum so very please with this purchase.
Bought this a one of little presents for kids in the run up to Christmas and it could have easily been a Christmas present by itself! it impressed us with the quality of pictures, and surprised how much fun it brought for 6 and 9 year olds! Closed themselves in the dark room and made ‘cinema’ on a wall :). It is important to adjust brightness, but once done you can easily project from 2-3 meters and make large pictures on the wall.
Bought for my 3 year old niece who loves dinosaurs. Shows pictures of dinosaurs and dinosaur related material in the dark on surfaces.
A last minute Christmas buy, grandson and his, daddy loved it, spent hours playing with it.. The picture takes some focusing. We projectored into a box and it worked brilliantly, like a TV screen.. Its smaller then you expect, but perfect for little hands.
My kids really liked it especially with the animal pictures that it shows.
My kids really liked it especially with the animal pictures that it shows.
At such a reasonable price I didn’t expect an awful lot, but ordered this on the off chance for my son’s stocking. It is surprisingly bright and produces a sharp image using the focusing ring. Dino pictures are detailed and colourful. Great wee toy suitable for children as a stocking filler or other small gift.
This torch has been the most played with of all the toys bought for xmas
Grandchildren and adults enjoyed playing with these over Christmas!
There is a little bobble bit under the middle of each photo disc which points downwards when you are loading into torch. Also a thumb control which you slid downwards to open the access for the disc.
The yellow part around the lense of torch can twist to get a clearer focus on walls or wherever you’re projecting onto. Small but with a big effect!
That out of the way, this torch is great, my two year old really likes the pictures I put on the wall and exploring with the torch, it is small and lightweight and just right for his hands. I have the sea creatures and as a scuba diver I can appreciate these are the images we like to see and are the classic tick offs. Would I buy the others and also recommendabsolutely on both counts
I did think the torch itself would’ve been bigger. But it still works fine etc.
I was utterly shocked when my nephew shone this on the wall. The picture quality was excellent- really clear and crisp!
My son loves this. Out of all his gifts this is the number 1 thing he loves. Easy use for young kids.
My little nephews loved this, it was their favourite toy (until the youngest decided to bring it into the bath with him and it stopped working).
I’m hoping this young lad will be delighted with i
I have brought this for my sons 3rd birthday which I know he wood love.
Bought this for my nephew who loves dinosaurs and he was over the moo
Again another dinosaur themed present for my grandson who will have endless hrs of joy
My nephew loves it he always playing with it and showing me when I go see him
This little tourch is really good. Was for my 4 year old dinosaur mad daughter, she is obsessed with it. Smaller than we thought it would be, but dont be fooled by the size, the quality of the Dinosaurs from this are fantastic.
Great little present my son loves it – being such a dinosaur fan he got 3 for his birthday
Pictures a bit blurry. But my son loves it. He’s 3 years old. Does any one know I can buy the discs what comes with the torch?
Nice gift for children who are interested in animals etc.
Came in good condition.
Bought this for my 5 year old grandson and he loved i
Bought this for my nephew and he loved it. The torch is quite small but perfect for a 4-year-old passionate about dinosaurs. It has a lot of different pictures of dinosaurs so you can’t get bored with it.
Got this as a present for my 3 year old. He loves switching the discs in and out and shining it on the wall but can’t really tell what the pictures are unless you refer to the back of the packaging!
Bought this as a Christmas stocking filler for my 3 yr. old grandson. He loved it and wanted to take it to bed with him on Christmas night!
My 3 year old grandson absolutely loves this ! He uses it mainly when he goes to bed, as it’s perfect for the darkness! He is into Dinosaurs, so he loves seeing the bigger species! There are different themes if dinosaurs are not the thing for you!
My grandson wanted me to get him this and it is fab the projection and picture quality is great a lot better than i expected, my grandson live animal so this is ideal he was super excited. Price A+ picture A+ battery A+ really cant fault this
Good fun. Shine it on a blank wall. Brilliant pictures of dinosaurs
I bought this toy among other things for my great nephew on his 5th birthday who loves the film “Jurassic World” not very sure it could be successful but…He loved it! Proving once more that the best present hasn’t to be the most expensive one.
Great for dinosaur obsessed grandson..!
The torch shows the pictures of the dinosaurs very clearly even when still quite light in room.
Torch is adjustable to make the pictures bigger or smaller. The discs included are quite small but are easy to fit into the torch and do provide a fair number of pictures.
Would highly recommend.
Such a cool little torch, my little one is dino mad so such a good purchase
Can’t really comment on battery life or whether it will last but my 2year old son absolutely loves this torch! Could do with being a bit bigger but can’t complain for the price.
I bought this for my young grandson and he loves it. He’s only 4 but finds it easier to change the discs than I do! I would recommend this product.
Bought for 21 month old grandson who is fascinated by “dinoroars”! He loved seeing them projected onto a white wall.
At that young age, an adult or older child should operate the torch (the plastic slides set could be harmful if swallowed at that age)
Was a bit disappointed at how small this was, perfect for a little one though!
Highly recommend this product! It’s a great way to bond with your child at night time before bed when it’s dark. Good for social skills and understanding the world. It really is a lovely little product for the price! Well worth the money. The only thing I would say is children under 4 will need assistance changing over the film reels as they can be a bit fiddly/tricky for younger ages and can get jammed/stuck if put in the wrong way (if stuck they can easily be taken out by an adult). Over all excellent product and deliver.
My daughter (2) absolutely loves this. She’s obsessed with sharks and sea life in general. Hours of fun, but needs help with changing the disc and we don’t let her play with it alone due to small parts
Bought for a5 year old as a birthday present. He loves i
The picture isn’t so great when shining on wall I tried close and far and its hard to see as it doesn’t seem to focus right looks like a blur.
This is a good price and was a loved gift!
Good stocking filler gift.
My son loved this when he opened it at Christmas.
Easy to use and fu
It’s a lot smaller than I expected. It would have helped if the names were on each one. My kid enjoyed it for 20 mins and doubt he will use it agai
My dd loves it and it’s very informative as well. We bought the Dinosaur set. The quality of the picture is a bit blurred. The batteries provided lasted for only few days. Interesting concept but the quality of the torch is a bit disappointing.
Functions well but for my son (3 years old) it would be better with more images of dinosaurs and less of fossils / claws. A bit more cartoon meets animal planet rather than the relics from the back of the museum would entertain him much more.
I was a little doubtful about this for a 2 year old but he loved it. Even his baby sister watched it. Once the picture is in focus and on a plain wall, the pictures are colourful and have good detail. Would be nice if you could buy different discs without having to buy another torch.
The only reason for 4 stars is that the item is quite small, as expected, so needs some sort of safe bag to keep the bits in as they can be easily lost. However my granddaughter was delighted. Needs shaded room for the pictures and looks great on the ceiling. Deserves 4 3/4 stars. I’ll look for a container.
Got this for my two year old grandaughter for xmas, she loves dinosaurs & loved this (more for the torch part).
Its the first time she has had a torch to play with & loved the fact that when you shone it on the wall she could see a dino! We had to focus it for her & she hasn’t got the hang of changing anything yet but still worth the money.
Also the cat loves chasing the light around the floor!
I personally thought it was a little small, however, my grandson thought it was wonderful and really enjoyed playing with it.
My daughter has really enjoyed playing with the torch and loves the dinosaurs.it does need to be on a dark surface for best results and may need help putting image wheels in.
My 4 year old grandson loves dinosaurs. This was just a stocking filler and according to his parents it’s his number 1 toy of all his Xmas gifts. He loves putting the images on his bedroom wall. Which apparently shows very clear pictures of the dinosaurs. A great hi

Bought for my nephew as a little extra Christmas present as he loves dinosaurs, he was a happy chappy when he got it.
Nice sticking filler for small kid. Smaller than I expected but nice little toy. 3 disks of dinos included.
Just a bit of fun for a 2 year olds stocking fille
The torch is small but this is actually the perfect size for a child! My 3yo loves it and after reading the reviews i was worried about the pictures being blurry but if you turn the white bit on the end it actually adjusts the sharpness of the picture making it the perfect present! 5* 😀
Absolutely love this. Bought it for my daughter as she has always been interested in shadows, lights and animals too. I have subsequently bought 3 more like this as birthday fists for her other 3 year old friends. They’ve all loved them.

I did not realise this torch would be so tiny. Good for little hands I guess, but how little? Bought 2, one for 4 year old, the other for 3 year old. They’ve had great fun with them. Need to sort out the focus to get a good picture. Comes with 3 small ‘reels’, these may easily be lost. Given 4 stars because they were so, very small.
It was a little smaller than I expected but my grandaughter loves it.
This is so small obviously to fit a 2 yr old hands but looked at spare discs n thought they’ll be up the hoover havent opened it yet hopefully he’ll love it as reviews I read were good
Too small really it’s for a gift so not yet ised
Given to a five-year old as an extra gift. Although small, it fascinated him and he enjoyed looking at the projected pictures on the wall with much interest.
I thought it was a bit on the smallish side but my Grandson loved it & im told the projection on the wall was a decent size. That’s what’s most important.
Tiny,keyring size,good as stocking filler or for a child to give as a gift to a friend,will fit into a kids pocket no problem havent opened packaging yet so don’t know how bright it is as its a gift for grandchild
It is a novelty my grandson likes dinosaurs and he liked this very much
Our great grandson as had hours of fun with this torch. Great buy
Smaller than expected yet to try it as it’s a Christmas gift.
Lovely child’s toy, hours of fun had. Second one I’ve ordered.
Nice torch and good images but shame they didn’t think of a way to store the discs, they have already been misplaced
Little gift for grandson, I’m sure he will like it.
My 7 yo twin Granddaughters loved it. They thought it was great fun.
My two-year-old nephew likes two things! Playing with torches and dinosaurs, so this seemed like the most obvious gift in the world. The torch was smaller than I thought it would be and the batteries didn’t last long, but he absolutely loves it…he even takes it to bed to shine on the ceiling before he goes to sleep. If there is a little dino lover in your life, this is a really great stocking filler.
Bought as a present disappointed with how small it is
My son really does love the torch and when fiddled with you can get a really clear image. Just wish it took normal batteries as they do require changing quite often.
Fantastic 3 year old loves this and loves to makes huts and light it up with his dinosaurs
Loves his torch can only use it in a dark place as you wont see the pictures of the dinosaurs
