Bath toys

[yeknomyeknom]

I am unimpressed with the selection of bath toys out there. Really standard and humdrum. Nothing imaginative. Has anyone seen or got anything fun that the kids love?

Have you seen the green toys stuff? Mine have got the tug boats which are very simple but very robust and good for pouring. They also do some other ones that look good like a ferry boat and a sea plane. http://www.greentoys.com/toys.html you can get them from the Eco shop on lordship lane or amazon too I think

The wow toys are good and also Octonauts ones if they like them (very robust, we used in all manner of settings incl the beach). Playmobile went down a storm for us also (not the really small bits obvs ;-))

A couple of plastic kitchen jugs were v popular for a long time, and actually thinking about it now a set of nesting measuring cups would have been good also I think.

All our conventional bath toys have been shunned in favour of empty Calpol syringes used to squirt water out of the bathroom window (and everywhere else).

Same here - also empty shampoo bottles to fill and squirt water out of. No issues with mould, as there's always plenty more.

We have a waterwheel, which is very popular. Similar to http://www.elc.co.uk/Sand-and-Water-Wheel/122811,default,pd.html that seems a bargain but there are also lots of other varieties on ebay. We also have a couple of cups and a watering can for an endless supply of drinks made in the cafe!!

Funnily enough there was an article about this in the Guardian today! http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/gallery/2014/oct/10/top-five-bath-toys

Thanks everyone! I have bought a green toy submarine for starters.
