The luminous Minions Head Light for big and little adventurers

Whether in a park, on a playground or at a campsite, the Minions Head Light assures optimal visibility and leaves both hands free for playing. By simply pressing the easily accessible button on the circular head light, the glowing eye in Minions goggles styling lights the way to the next adventure. To assure that the Minions Head Light with its comfortable foam padding always fits perfectly, the washable head strap can be shortened or lengthened to suit heads of all sizes. The head light has a screwed compartment for its batteries and has passed tests which prove that it’s tough enough to survive a fall from a height of one meter. These features make the head light more than just a fun accessory: it’s also a child-safe and robust companion for voyages of discovery.


Full light ahead with the Minions Lantern

Dave, Kevin, Stuart, Bob and their friends try to “outdance” one another on the lantern, and the print of the popular Minions around the transparent viewing window of the blue-and-yellow light invites everybody to join the fun. A rotatable on-off switch makes it child’s play for even the littlest Minions fans to easily operate this handy lantern. With its pastel-blue handle and hinged banana-yellow hook, the Minions Lantern is an indispensable companion and accessory: it can be conveniently carried by its handle or its hook, and it can also be hung from a tree branch, a tent post or a backpack to leave both hands free. As the Minions say, “Nu le pinyu!” – “Time for adventure!”.
