I ordered 2 of these knowing that they would be small. They can fit on the palm of my hand and are about as tall as my hand. I would think of these as a night light type light as it has to be dark in order to see the stars. I love these though and so does my daughter who I bought them for. The changing of the light is super cool! Will be ordering some more for other places throughout the house! A great purchase if you're looking for something small.
