My daughter draws stars all over Boba every night and watches them glow while she falls asleep. Best thing we bought her this year.

Make Lights-Out the Fun Part
Bedtime is the part of the day most kids fight. The lamp goes off, the toys go quiet, and suddenly there's one more question, one more drink, one more story.
The Novum Glow Buddy gives them something to wait for in the dark. They draw on their buddy with the light pen, the lamp clicks off, and every line they drew glows green. Stars, hearts, their name, or a goodnight note from you.

Why the Novum Glow Buddy?
It turns the dark into a drawing board
+
Most plush toys disappear once the lamp goes off. This one lights up. Every line drawn with the light pen glows green, so the dark is when they finally get to see their art.
Whatever they draw shows up
+
Stars, hearts, a rainbow, a game of tic-tac-toe or a word like NIGHT. Anything they draw or write with the pen glows on their buddy once the room is dark.
The pocket glows too
+
A teal pocket with a white star print sits across the tummy. In the dark the printed stars glow along with their drawings, like a little night sky on their buddy.
Four buddies to choose from
+
Polly the mint penguin, Boba the peach bunny, Felix the lemon fox and Bobby the lilac bear. Each one has embroidered eyes, round cheeks and the same star-print pocket.
An easy pick for the gift pile
+
Soft and bright in daylight, and it does something new after dark. That makes it a simple choice for Christmas, a birthday, or the sibling who wants one of their own.

Great plush. My only wish is a clip for the pen, it keeps going missing under the bed.
