Bath Toys

Bath time is a funny thing. It seems like kids either love it or hate it. Here are five of the best bath toys to help your little one enjoy their time in the tub.
1.Butterfly Net By Little Tikes ($7.99)
I've already mentioned this one in this blog, but good things are worth repeating! Not only is this toy fun but it’s also educational! Tots learn hand-eye coordination as they chase the fluttering butterflies across the tub with the net. Best yet, these butterflies “fly” across the water without batteries. You just pull on the last segment of their bodies and off they go. Recommended for 18 months and up, but both my girls (ages 2 years old and nine months old) love playing with these butterflies.

2.Dirty Dogs by Alex ($8.93)
What kid doesn’t like dogs? These bath buddies are perfect playmates to make bath time fun. The precious little pups are spotted with magic ink and need your little ones give ‘em a good scrub. Add a little warm water and voila - clean guys ready to play. Kids also will love the fact that the pups squirt water too! The company also has Piggy Pigs that work the same way. They’re made for children six months and up.
3. Boon Bath Goods ($15 for the set)
Let your little artist go to town with Boon’s colorful bath toy set. Kids can get creative with the 15 foam bath stickers that stick and re-stick over and over again. Also included, three bath balls and two mini scrubbers. All of the items are mold and mildew resist and don’t absorb water. Recommended for kids at least six months old.
4.Car Wash Bath Toy by Sassy ($14.94)
Move over rubber duckies, it’s time to turn the tub into a car wash. This tub set includes three vehicles and a floating roadway complete with a squirting nozzle and car ferry. Kiddos can learn practical cause and effect skills while they wash. Each vehicle does something different: the red truck scoops and pours water, the green car squirts, and the purple car scoops and strains water. Plenty of fun for two to play at once! Cars store in the mesh pocket “garage” and the whole thing can hang to dry. It’s made of mildew-resistant foam perfect for children nine months and up.
5.Whistling Hippos by Alex ($17.99)
Forget hungry hippos, check out these cheerful guys that whistle while you wash. The set of four hippos each have their own ring to float on across the tub. Dunk them under the water and they make whistling noises. Fun for kids and maybe even best for you, they don’t squirt so there’s less mess to clean when bath time is over. These hippos are made for kids at least 18 months old.
