Babble Best Picks:
Bath Toys
We all know the standard bath boats, bath cups and, of course, the iconic rubber duckies - but what are the best bath toys that will drag your kids away from their LEGO constructions and into the tub? We rounded up the best of the best - from old-school classics to genius new ideas - to make bath sessions more developmentally stimulating and less of a kicking-and-splashing fight. Did we forget one? Nominate your favorite here. - Michelle Horton
BEST BATH BOAT | Green Toys Tugboat
Bath boats have always been a tub-time staple - from small fishing boats to elaborate sailboats - but our absolute favorite has to be this lightweight tugboat from Green Toys. Not only does it float well and dry quickly, it has a spout to pour water so kids can be creative and make a waterfall or practical and rinse out shampoo. Moms can also feel good that the entire boat is made from recycled milk containers with no BPA, PVC, phthalates or other questionable materials.
BEST FOR BIG KIDS | Sprig Toys Dolphin Explorer Boat
If your kids have outgrown squirting octopuses and rubber duckies, the Sprig Toys Dolphin Explorer Boat takes imaginative play out of the playroom and into the tub. With a large two-deck boat, a small rescue boat, a sea captain and dolphins, your kids can create elaborate stories both in the bath and out. And not only are Sprig Toys made from a very unique-looking, durable Sprigwood – a bio-composite made from recycled wood and reclaimed plastic – but the entire company is dedicated to making toys that are healthy for our kids (no electronics, no batteries, no harmful chemicals) as well as the planet. That’s something we can get behind.
