Favorite bath toys

DS 19months and his 4yr old sister loving me blowing bubbles to them to catch while they in the bath! They love these little tablets that change the colour of the water from the $2 shop- or u can just add a few drops of food colouring to the bath and watch it swirl!
They have bath toys, but prefer to play with stuff from the recycling bin- bottles, jars- things to tip and pour with. U can poke holes in the bottom of containers etc too which is cool.

DS has a plastic watering can (that came with some beach toys) and he loves it! I also use it to wash/rinse his hair

He also has bath crayons which he really loves, he draws all over the bath and the walls and it just washes off

I got some "squirts" from the supermarket - I think they are tommee tippie? A crab, whale, pelican, turtle and hexapus (it's meant to be an octopus but doesn't have enough legs). You can fill them with water and then squeeze and they squirt everywhere. Her fav game is to squirt her dad when he is bathing her, lots and lots of giggles.

I'm thinking about getting something with a waterwheel on it maybe. We don't do additives (soap, colours, bubbles etc) because she has really sensitive skin. She also has her toothbrush and will give her teeth a good scrub while in the bath.

Bath crayons sound cool mrs emma, where did you get those?

the brand Alex has heaps of cool bath toys (including the crayons)- I have seen them in baby city. I got Tom a bunch of car squirts which he loves, apart from those he is mostly happy trying to steal Ella's mermaids that she plays with in the bath.

KMART hsve recently started selling a line if plastic kitchen utensils at $2 each - i got a measuring jug and set of measuring cups for DD - she loves playing with those in the bath.

she also has a cheap plastic tea-set which she uses as a bath toy - lots of pouring opportunities there!

We got them from Baby City, they have some cool toys in that range including bath stickers which are made of some type of foam material and they have roads, cars, trucks etc. I'll probably get some of those for Christmas.

My MIL got a waterwheel toy from the Warehouse, it sticks to the wall and he loves it. He also has some wind up toys, a frog, fish, duck and about 7 others that all move through the water and he is obsessed with them. I think my Mum sent those ones from Ireland though

Ditto on the measuring cups, kitchen utensils, ie whisk, slotted spoon etc, all from my drawer. But a real winner is a pack of sponge type rubber shapes, got the farm one with animals and barn, fence etc that stick directly to sides of bath or in our case acrylic shower walls. I have also seen a racing track one too. DD has spent hours placing and replacing these on the walls, floating and stacking them in the bathwater etc. Comes with litle net bag to suction on bath and drip dry. As with most bath toys, need to soak them in cleaning solution or vinegar and baking soda every so often to keep away mould.
