Pergola projector.
Discussion
What's your budget, and what light levels do you want to use it in?
I bought a 'cheap' £200 WiMiUS K1 for nephew's birthdays to use indoors, but they've also used it outside after dusk on a cheap projector screen.
They had one of those "£100 down to £30" facebook offer ones claiming full-HD (it was actually 320x240), 1000 lumens (Chinese lumens, so about 200 in real life) and 100" screen in daylight (but has a photoshopped image), but as a toy it was probably fine to leave with the kids.

That looks like it will be ok. Will only be used at night.I bought a 'cheap' £200 WiMiUS K1 for nephew's birthdays to use indoors, but they've also used it outside after dusk on a cheap projector screen.

Can you clarify, the bottom picture is the £30 facebook one and the top is the WiMiUS K1?I bought a 'cheap' £200 WiMiUS K1 for nephew's birthdays to use indoors, but they've also used it outside after dusk on a cheap projector screen.

Both pictures are from the WiMius K1, as I couldn't get a good enough picture of the crap that came out of the Facebook special mini-projector (which looked something like this, and is about the size of a paperback book). Usually to be found for £50, but there's always a 'special offer' for £30 or so - but they're only worth that if you've already got cataracts, or are simply expecting it to be a throwaway toy for your toddler.
But most people give it a good review because - if they're like my niece - they will get a 50% refund voucher in their parcel if they leave a 5-star review, screenshot it and send it to a gmail address.
These are the sort of images they show on facebook/amazon for these cheap mini-projectors,...
The reality is more like this in pitch black room (room with no windows) from 3 feet...and that's with the phone automatically switching to 'night mode' (not my pictures, these are from the Amazon reviews).
