Bath toys for 4yo

8 replies

EgyptAdvice · 02/04/2023 11:29

Any ideas of bath toys that are fun and engaging for 4yos? My son has recently become very anti bath but my friend gave him one recently at hers and he loved it because she had a bath toy on the wall. Sadly she's had it for years and it is unbranded, and I can't find anything like it anywhere. Even tried image searching it but nothing! It sticks on the wall and you pour water into it and lots of pieces spin round and move. All the ones I'm seeing are much smaller and quite babyish and the reviews aren't great. Any recommendations would be great!

My dcs love this, you need to use cheap shower gel/bubble bath for it to work properly (the kind that goes really foamy). We use the aldi white shower gel one, and it works the best. You need to stick it on the tile when the tile is dry, and the suction pads are slightly damp, let it set and then there shouldn't be too many issues!

I think I may have had a similar bath toy, it was a bar on the wall with pieces that hung on it, a little sun that spins inside a blue holder, a red ladle with holes in etc, an orange funnel that you can switch on and off etc.

We have Tomy Boon Pipes - sounds like what your DS was playing with except they are separate pieces so you can put them together in different ways. DS was given them as a first birthday present and now that he's 4 he still likes them and working out different ways for the water to go through. He's also got a Playmobil bath that can go in the water that he likes playing with

these are good. They do cogs too.

Is this the sort of thing you’re thinking of?

These foam bath shapes are also fun, especially if you get two packs - you can build quite a long road!

My best bath buy was some Crayola colour bath tabs, kids beakers, test tubes and pippettes.
They spend hours mixing potions and colours.

Avoid the rubbery squeeze toys that squirt water, virtually impossible to dry out and they go mouldy inside after a while.

DD always loved measuring cups and jugs that she could fill with water and make bubbles in and move water from one to the other and so on. Novelty soapy things like bath crayons, colour changing bubble bath, squirty foam soap always goes down well too.
