Sound familiar?
Bedtime is a battle. The room is dark. There is nothing to do in the dark except be scared.
A child who refuses to go to their bedroom because the dark feels like nothing to do.
Tablets at bedtime as the only thing that keeps them calm, and the sleep consequences that follow.
Night lights that just sit there passively and do nothing to hold a child's attention.
A dinosaur-obsessed child who has nothing dinosaur-related in their actual bedroom.
The Jaques Dinosaur Torch turns off the nothing-to-do problem. Press it. A dinosaur appears on the ceiling. Your child is now the director of a prehistoric ceiling show. They ask to go to bed early. It has happened to thousands of parents. It will happen to you.
What 33+ families say about the Jaques Dinosaur Torch
He asked to go to bed early. For the first time ever.
"He now asks to go to bed early so he can do the dinosaur show. That has never happened before. Never once in three years of bedtimes. He projects them on the ceiling and names every single one. We hear him whispering dinosaur names to himself as he falls asleep."
"We use it during the wind-down routine. Lights off, torch on, we name the dinosaurs together. He's asleep in 10 minutes. The routine has gone from 45 minutes of negotiation to 10 minutes of calm. I cannot believe a single torch did this."
"For the price this thing is remarkable. He's obsessed. We've projected dinosaurs on every wall in the house. On the bathroom ceiling, the kitchen floor, the side of the garden shed at dusk. He carries it everywhere."

What it actually is
A small torch. Press it. A dinosaur appears on your ceiling.
Multiple disc patterns included. Your child is now the director of a prehistoric ceiling show. They swap discs to change which dinosaur appears. They name them. They make the sounds. They fall asleep mid-show, which means they fell asleep happy, in the dark, without a screen.
Everything included
A torch. Projection discs. Batteries. Ready to use tonight.
Compact and easy for small hands to hold. Press the button and a dinosaur appears on any surface.
Different dinosaur images on each disc. Swap discs to change which dinosaur appears on the ceiling. Each disc is a new creature to name.
Ready to use straight out of the box tonight. No trip to the shops needed. Hand it to them at bedtime and watch what happens.
Soft projection light, not a bright torch beam. Safe for dark rooms and night-time use. Works on ceilings, walls, and any flat surface.
Batteries included. Dinosaurs on the ceiling tonight.
How it works
The Dinosaur Torch: three steps to a different bedtime
Turn off the bedroom light at bedtime
Instead of the usual battle about lights out, this is now the signal that the dinosaur show is about to begin. They start looking forward to it.
Press the torch and choose a disc
Point it at the ceiling or wall. Swap the projection disc to change the dinosaur. They can run the whole show themselves with no help from you.
Name the dinosaurs together, then leave
Spend five minutes naming the dinosaurs on the ceiling. Then say goodnight. They carry on the show themselves. They fall asleep mid-show. That is the whole routine.
Why it works
The bedtime toy that replaces the tablet and the bedtime battle.
The torch gives bedtime a purpose. Instead of the dark being nothing, the dark is when the show starts. That shift alone changes the whole dynamic. Parents consistently report a shorter, calmer bedtime from the very first night.
The Dinosaur Torch gives the child something engaging to do in the dark without the light frequency, stimulation, and sleep disruption of a tablet. They get the stimulation of a show. They do not get the screen effect that keeps them awake for another hour.
There is a specific type of child who is completely fixated on dinosaurs. This toy was made for that child. Not a generic night light. Not a cartoon. Real dinosaur silhouettes on their ceiling. Their bedroom becomes the most exciting room in the house after dark.

From families who bought it
The bedtime routine we did not know we needed.
What parents tell us after a few weeks with the Dinosaur Torch.
"Honestly transformed our bedtime. We now have a proper routine: bath, pyjamas, one book, dinosaur torch, sleep. He calls it 'dinosaur time' and he reminds us about it. Before this, bedtime was forty-five minutes of back-and-forth. Now it is twenty minutes and he is happy the whole way through." Jess, mum of 2
"We keep one in the car for long journeys too. He holds the torch, projects dinosaurs onto the headrest in front of him, and narrates what each one is doing for the whole motorway stretch. I have not heard 'are we nearly there yet' since we got it. Worth every penny." Andy, dad of 1

Questions & answers
Everything parents ask about the Jaques Dinosaur Torch
Does the Dinosaur Torch come with batteries?
Yes. The Dinosaur Torch comes with batteries included and is ready to use straight out of the box. There is no setup required. Take it out of the packaging and hand it to them tonight.
How many dinosaur projection images does it have?
The Dinosaur Torch comes with multiple projection discs, each showing a different dinosaur. Swapping discs is simple enough for children to do themselves from around age 4. Each disc projects a different silhouette shape onto the ceiling or wall.
What age is the Dinosaur Torch suitable for?
From age 3. At 3 years old most children can hold and press the torch with full control and will immediately understand the projection concept. It is most popular with children aged 3 to 8, particularly children who are already interested in dinosaurs. The discs are small, so adult supervision is recommended with children under 3.
How far does the projection reach?
The Dinosaur Torch projects clearly onto surfaces up to around 2 to 3 metres away. Standard bedroom ceilings work perfectly. The closer the torch is held to the surface, the sharper and smaller the image. The further away, the larger and more dramatic it becomes.
Can it be used as a night light?
The torch is designed for active use rather than as a permanent night light, but many parents leave it pointing at the ceiling on a low surface to create a soft ambient dinosaur glow. It is most effective when the child is actively holding and directing it, which is what makes it so engaging at bedtime.
A torch. A button. A dinosaur on the ceiling.
He asked to go to bed early. For the first time ever.
We have been making moments like this since 1795.
