Helping your child to develop a positive relationship with water and bathtime can be a tough thing to get right. One proven way to improve the enjoyment of bathing is by giving little ones bath toys to interact with. There are many benefits of choosing brightly coloured toys to use during bathtime which will mean children and parents like to have stress-free experiences. 

The first advantage is that a positive link between water is created, associating it with fun and adventure. This can help children as they progress to learning to swim as it helps to eradicate any underlying concerns they may have. Bath toys are also designed to be educational, allowing both cognitive abilities and physical development to take place. Bath toys can help children learn about spatial awareness and offer learning tools such as colours, numbers, and letters. 

Letting a child play with bath toys is also a great way of keeping them distracted whilst caregivers wash them. This means there is more chance of giving a thorough clean as they are not fussing around to get away from the sponge!

Bath toys are ideal to use for children who have started to develop manual skills. This means they are not usually recommended for littles ones younger than three months of age. After that, bath toys can be used by any age but should always be done so with adult supervision. 

Yes, if you choose the best bath toys, they are perfectly safe to use.

Top-quality bath toys, like the ones available from our range, are made with solid surfaces which don’t allow any water to get inside of the product. This stops any germs and bacteria from building up, as dampness cannot remain once left to dry. This factor is also important as it means there won’t be any disruptions to the surface, which could cause injury. However, you can also select toys with intended water-filling options, as they also provide solutions for drying out all water after playtime. By choosing professionally-recommended bath toys, you can also ensure they are made from safe materials that won’t cause a child any risks.

To keep bath toys fresh, simply wipe them over with a child-friendly clean solution. You should also deep-clean regularly by leaving them to soak in warm soapy water.
