Fun Finds Friday - Bath Toys!

Now that we've settled into our new home, we've finally stopped bathing Aidan in the sink.  At 16 months of age (almost 17!), he has graduated to tub baths.  And you know what that means...

TOYS!

We have two favorite bath toy brands - Skip Hop and Boon.  Here are some of their best tubby finds!

  1. Skip Hop Moby Bath Spout Cover - Aidan loves this thing, and I love that it protects his little noggin from the faucet.
  2. Skip Hop Octopus Ring Toss Fountain - I might love this more than Aidan does, because he hasn't figured out the fountain aspect - but he loves the floating rings and I love that they don't hold water.  This is a great non-mold prone toy!
  3. Skip Hop Dunck - This is a set of three floating cups.  Aidan likes to stack them, pour water from them, and point at them (shouting DUCK!).  He plays with them, I use them to rinse his head, everyone's happy!
  4. Boon Splat Floating Ring Toss - This is cool because not only to the rings float - the base also floats!  Again, these are blessedly hole-free, eliminating that "trapped murky water" problem.
  5. Boon Water Bugs - The water bugs float, as you might imagine, and so does the net - making this a wonderful bath OR pool toy!  This one is definitely coming outside into the pool this summer!
  6. Boon Bathtub Appliques - I'll be honest, sometimes I play with these too.  A bit of water is all it takes to stick these buggies to the sides of the tub.  Aidan finds them hilarious, I find them super easy to clean up.
                                           

Hats off to these two wonderful companies for their bright, fun, innovative products!

  2. I accidently just stumbled upon your blog. And I must say that I will be reading the entire thing in the next few days. My son was recently diagnoed with EC, after YEARS of all kinds of GI issues. He has had more colonoscopies/endoscopies etc etc etc and until now they have shown vague issues or none at all. Until january of this year when they said he had EC but not EoE. They are treating him like EoE I guess from what they are telling me, as they don't typically have kids that only have EC. My son also has a bleeding disorder, an immune deficiency, GERD, and some more random vague symptoms. I am thankful that I have found your blog and am looking forward to reading all about your family.

  4. I'd agree with you when you say 16months is a good age for a real bath. Bath toys can definitely make things much more fun for children when it comes time for bathtime! Target has some really cute and unique bath toys!

  5. Not every parent gives their baby a bath every day, so on days where he is not getting into the tub, the floating toys can be added to a small bowl of water, which encourages baby in the same way.

  6. Make sure as well that the toy is safe. Choose a bath toys that is friendly to your little one. Typically, they are made of rubber, cloth or other soft material that won't hurt babies. Avoid bath toys that have pointed or sharp edges as well.
