Best Bath Toys For Babies And Toddlers: Why Wind-Up Swimmers Win
The best bath toys for babies and toddlers: why wind-up swimming toys beat squeeze toys, and how to choose bath toys that are easy to rinse and dry.
Bath toys get used every single day, which makes them one of the best-value toys you can buy. But not all bath toys are equal. Here is what to look for.
Why Wind-Up Bath Toys Work So Well
A wind-up swimmer moves on its own, so the child has something to watch, chase and catch. It teaches cause and effect (wind it, and it swims) and needs no batteries, so there is nothing to fail in the water.
Meet The Bath Pals
The Bath Pals collection includes a frog, duck, whale, turtle, croc, hippo, walrus and platypus. A few gentle turns of the knob underneath, and each one paddles across the water. Suitable from 0+ months, and made from high-quality ABS plastic with smooth edges.
A Toy For Floor And Water
The 2-in-1 Wind-Up Octopus floats and moves on water and crawls on the floor, so bath play and floor play share one toy. Suitable from 0+ months.
Keep Bath Toys Clean
After every bath, rinse toys with clean water and let them dry completely. Store them somewhere airy, not in a closed, damp basket.
How Many Bath Toys Are Enough?
Two or three is plenty. A small set is easier to keep clean and more exciting when a new animal joins.
