bath toys? Pleeeese some ideas?

[kleist]

Dd's 3 and bored rigid of her ducks, little plastic scoops, etc. etc. She's had the same bath toys since she was about 1.

What do your kids love to play with in the tub?

their dolls, a hair brush, an empty Johnsons Bath bottle, a flannel, swimming goggles (DD1).

flannels. they were being pirates the other day lol. we dont have bath toys as the stuff for their eczema gunges the toys up.

Boats, clockwork diver, and his 'dancing wee wee' - at 3, anyway!

I'm with Feisty.

We try and keep the kiddie crap to a minimum.

flannels make lovely wigs

Old washing powder scoops, plastic spoons (kitchen sized ones and medicine spoons), empty bottles, a piece cut from a swimming float and a decoy duck.

my dd has had a shower toy that attaches to the side of the bath. I got it last year from ELC, I assume they stilll do them.
She loves it to bits, was really hard for her to push it in at first but she is now 2 1/4 so it getting a bit easier for her to push the button in to pump the water through it.

you can get foam numbers and letters from most places ( tescos, elc ) etc and I think boots had some dolls that had lots of different outfits too in their 3 for 2 offer on website

Anything they can get hold of before I say "Noooo"!

A few different sized cups, an empty squeezy bottle and a few plastic animals and a flannel.

tho' if you're looking for some big colourful plastic thing for Xmas that will invade your bathroom, then some git bought DD1 a Barny house thing that sticks by suction to the side of the bath and has a waterwheel and lift thing and lots of other crap that seemed to entertain for some time.

I think goggles are a great idea and I will get some for ds1.

Am also going to get some letters....must admit that it is a pain to get it all out before I get in the bath!

Our bath toys are as follows:

-bath crayons and paint - huge hit

• animal foam things where you match the head to the correct body and they stick on the side of the bath - huge hit
• foam numbers and letters
• wind up swimming lobster
• pirate boat that has a little pirate, a life boat and it skirts water etc
• a shower thing from ELC
• dolphins in rings that link and emit their own musical squeak, each diff col has a diff pitch
• dora the explora in a life jacket tat changes colour and her monkey mate in a ring
• nemo and dory etc
• ducks that change colour
• kids crab foam mirror

For Xmas have also bought her:

• shapable foam soap
• a battery operated submerine that dives etc
• a battery operated sub bug that goes all over the place
• 2 wind up swimmers
• fashion bath foam magnet things. It basically a man and a woman shape and you stick on different outfits and accessories

We also have the usual watering can, seive, little tubs etc

TC, I wish you were my mum

(Of course I am a bit old but YKWIM!)

TC, is there any room in the bath after that little collection?

DD (5) loves washing old teddies , dolls hair etc. She has been known to don goggles, flippers and snorkel.

I can echo TC on wind up swimming lobster, DD has loved hers since in-utreo

Tesco have some wind up toys for 99p at the moment....santa has them on his list for the stockings .
Otherwise we use tea sets and pour each other cups of bubble tea/lots of spoon and bubble stirring/foam letters that stick on the tiles/crab mirror from the ELC/ empty bottles that turn into squirters to get Daddy wet....the list is endless...........

She also loves bath crayons and those little submarines that fizz coloured water.

Oh bath bombs too amuse my kids. 3 for 99p from chemists. Take ages to desolve.

Goodness TC...can she get in the bath as well?

Thanks everyone.

She's currently just got a set of ducks, some plastic scoops and spoons and old cups. Plus a watering can. She frequently takes a small soft toy with her who she washes and plays some kind of drowning game with.

I thought something else might be a nice Christmas treat. But I dunno. Maybe I'm more bored by bath games than she is!

You can get polly pocket sets that go in the bath
and teletubbies and rubbadubbers etc
