Its really hit and miss sometimes how smoothly bath times go with children. Kids don’t often enjoy being cleaned and unless bath time is made to be fun, they will make such a fuss you’ll regret putting them in the bath in the first place. There are some fantastic bath toys that can supplement bathing perfectly and get everyone enjoying themselves, here are the best 3.
The rubber duck. The iconic rubber duck should be a staple toy for any bath. It’s still the best selling bath toy around and it’s easy to see why. Its stand-out yellow colour and interactive qualities such as a squeaker or water spurter make them endlessly enjoyable. They have proved their popularity over the last 100 years and won’t be disappearing any time soon.
Squirters.If you don’t have a rubber duck that squirts water then you need to invest in a little water gun or similar. Most kids loving playing with water guns and squirters and if they can do it in a safe and suitable place, no one gets annoyed. Its also a great method to get your child clean and its always a bit of fun getting squirted and they won’t object anywhere near as much as they do when you try and sponge them down. Just keep filling it up and soaking them down using it.
Stick on numbers. Bath toys don’t have to simply be for fun. Kids learn best when they are relaxed and enjoying themselves so it’s good to have a number of learning toys or educational toys to use in the bath as well. There are a variety of toys on the market that can be used in water, one of which are the big inflatable letters. Foam sticky numbers though are the most popular choice. These not only help with mathematics but also teach kids about surface tension and friction when the stick the number to the side of the bath.
