My 9 year old loved this the minute it arrived. She insisted on putting the decals up herself. They easily peel and stick multiply times not like some decals that one wrong move and it's all twisted up around itself. After lots of moving and rearranging she finally got them where she wanted them.
I helped her put the activator up and she uses it nightly. There are 3 settings but she loves the 2nd one that has ocean noise and lights. This is the perfect all in one for a night light and white noise machine and you get the added benefit of the fish.

This is a really cool add to my tween's room, but I had to read the instructions to really "get" it.The first aspect of the kit is the easiest to explain. The dolphins and other animals themselves are decals you stick on the wall. I do not know why I thought at first it would be a light that showed the animals, but it is actually better with just the decals. This means that the "toy" can be interactive even without the light. I strongly suggest putting the light where you would like it, and then making sure the light illuminates all of the animals. Our light was hung quite low because my daughter has a futon and she wanted to be able to turn it on during bed. You do not NEED to illuminate all of the animals for it to look really cool, but I felt it looked better if it lit up all of the animals. The decals themselves were good quality, and went up really easily.
The other aspect of the kit is the light and sound activator. It does not NEED to be hung on the wall, so if you just want to put the decals up, and use the light and sound activator as something they keep in the bed, you can. We hung it at futon level so my daughter could turn it off an on when in bed. You can also remove it easily, if you child wants to do so. We liked the level we hung it at, and it made for a good light show. The light spread out nicely and was bright enough for a soft nightlight.
There are 4 settings to the sound/light activator. The first, to me, is a little scary for a younger child. I do not know that my tween ever leaves it on that setting at night, as there are animal noises that it makes. She DOES like to play this in her room when she is studying, and it is actually quite fun.
The second sound setting only makes ocean noises, not any animal noises. This is perfect for going to sleep and I find it quite soothing. It does turn off after 20 minutes, which is the perfect amount of time for us. The 20 minute setting is NOT adjustable (it can only be on for 20 minutes unless turned off manually earlier than that).
The third setting is just lights. This is nice if your child does not like sound, and just wants an extra light.
The final setting is off. If you are like me, it may take you until you read the instructions to know that you need to hold the button for 2 seconds to turn it off.
We have had it installed for a couple of weeks, and the batteries are still good. We love the fact that it does not need to (and cannot be) plugged in, as all of my daughter's outlets are blocked or being used. This uses batteries, which are included when you purchase it.
Overall, my 10 year old daughter likes this product, and I expect to get much enjoyment from it in years to come!
