Bath times sometimes be a point of real friction between parents and children. You’d be surprised just how many children hate being washed so it is imperative that bath times are made to be enjoyable and stress free. There are some fantastic bath toys that can supplement bathing perfectly and get everyone enjoying themselves, here are the best 3.
Rubber duck. The iconic rubber duck should be a staple toy for any bath. Its not too hard to see why it is consistently the best selling bath toy in shops. It’s bright colors and ability to squeak or spurt water are great fun and the fact it is an animal adds another element of interaction with the toy. They have proved their popularity over the last 100 years and won’t be disappearing any time soon.
Squirters.A lot of rubber ducks aren’t able to spurt water, which is a shame but their are plenty of alternatives out there like water guns. Kids love squirting water around and there is no better place to do it than in the bath, although you have to be careful they don’t get you. Additionally it’s a very good way to get their whole body washed if they don’t like doing it the usually way. Just fill up the squirter and give them a good wash down with it.
Stick on numbers. There can often be more to bathing than just playing. Kids learn best when they are relaxed and enjoying themselves so it’s good to have plenty of learning toys or educational toys that can be used in the bath as well. There are a number of such toys that are suitable for water such as the box of shapes that teaches children how to select the right hole for individually shaped block. The best choice though are the foam sticky numbers. 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.
