Projection night-light toy

Abstract

A stuffed toy has a main body, including an interior cavity, for accepting a projection night-light therein. The night-light includes a light box housing having an integrally coupled concave grated top cover, which includes a plurality of openings and a sensor button. The night-light includes an exterior casing and top and bottom brackets for accepting the light box housing therein and securing the night-light within the interior cavity of the toy. An illumination source, including at least one LED, is housed within the housing underneath the grated top cover. A power source and circuit means are arranged within the housing to actuate and deactivate the LED.
