Little kids hate the dark and love teddy bears. If the bear was made of a piezoelectric material, the bear would glow when the kid squeezed it,and you wouldn't have to use a nightlight.
Or it could just be battery powered.
Glowing cuddly toy.

If this isn't baked, it should be. (Seems a wee bit Kingish to me, but hey, children like clowns and don't find them scary.) |
|
|
there was a theory (probably now discarded) that young children should sleep in the dark for healthy eyesight. despite that, THIS I love. |

It's no teddy bear, but there's a "Glow Worm", light-up cuddly toy that has been around a while. (link) |

Too bad this is baked. Make it a fiber-optic (with color changing light) teddy bear and Bob's yer uncle. Hmmm, might not be very comfortable to sleep with, though. |

I had a Glow worm when I was a wee lad. Its resting in a trunk somewhere in Texas ... |

|
When I found out a piezo lighter spark would make a sheet
of electroluminescent material flash with light (like Times
Indiglo) I thought they should have a little ratchet pawl
thing on Rev-up toys or wind up toys that struck a piezo
crystal making the toy light up without batteries. |

Imagine a million toy cars that light up, possibly stay lit
when you rev them. Good for Disney, or then Pixar. |

Bears are scary. Instead, pick a friendlier shape--
something soft and light like a marshmallow or a
sheet over a ball that hovers somehow and emits
moaning sounds... |
