Mold stays inside of the toys.

2008-07-22
Cute bath toys, but the mold stays inside the toys. Very dificult to clean. The water doen't come out easily.

Terrible--buy elegant squirties instead

These are terrible. They are hard plastic, uninteresting for an infant. The elegant squirties are the way to go.

Various Flaws, Better Bath Toys Available

2008-06-13
This is our least favorite bath toy. To start off with positive feedback--the strong point of this set is the great colors and shapes; they are really eye catching and unique. The flaws however, overwhelm the aesthetics. Our son is 18 months old and has a hard time squeezing the rather rigid plastic hard enough to make the water squirt out. He sees mommy squeezing water out, then gets frustrated that he cannot. Had we used them from the start strictly as floating bath toys, he might have enjoyed them at that level. Also, as it is tough to squeeze the plastic, admittedly, even for me--water often remains in the interior space of the toy. Sometimes by the next time we drag them out for bath-time play, we find that a skudgy sort of water is dispelled from the interior. And, because of the unique shapes of various pieces, it is rather difficult for little fingers to lock the units together. We prefer other bath toys including the easy kitchen items: baster, ladle, cup, tupperware w/lid, strainer, etc.

Great tub toys.

My 9 month old daughter loves to play with these while she sits in her tub seat. Even my 5 yr old likes playing with them.

Only thing i don't like about them is that some of them are difficult to get the water out of them. They act as squirting toys but some of the water is impossible to remove from the toys. This means that they will eventually get pitched in the garbage if the water in side gets nasty.

Okay but not fab.

These colourful little sea creatures snap together but my 9 month old cannot do this as it requires a little more dexterity and strength than he has. The little bag is cute to hang on the side of his Bath for him to get the toys out of and it doesn't come off easily when he is putting things in or taking them out. They do squirt but it is way too hard for his little hands to squeeze them enough to squirt, and it takes some squeezing for an adult. Having said that they are colourful and therefore eye-catching to him, and they are great for chewing on and throwing around in the bath.

Fishbowl is made of tough nylon mesh material with two large suction cups for firm hold to bathtub wall. Characters include a whale, fish, turtle, crab, seahorse, snail, octopus and coral.

Unsanitary

2008-05-08
I bought these for the bath, and my son likes them (especially the little crab). They are ok as small toys, but I will not use them in the bath, because they are hollow and have a hole in them so you can fill them up and then squirt water out of them. The problem is that the hole is designed so that you can never get all of the water out, they constantly have water sitting in them. I think it is unsanitary and the sitting water will cause bacteria to grow, and there is no easy way to clean them out (except maybe boiling and squeezing them to fill them with the boiling water??) But you would have to boil them after every bath. I prefer to get toys that can dry thoroughly between baths.

Very cute sea creatures and also fun to connect. My grandson loves them but at 12 months cannot put them together quite yet. He loves the shapes.
Better used dry and not in water due to collection of mildew over
time.

keeps my little brother very amused

before it used to be a hassle to get my little brother in the bath tub. now he looks forward to bath time every day!

Hard to use

2008-01-16
My 11 month old loves these (and has since she could first grab) but they do not work like they are designed. They are impossible for her to squeeze and they are hard for me to get them to connect and stay put. They are also a cleaning nightmare. They get very gross on the inside and I cant seem to ever get them clean. The directions tell you to drain them after each use but I can never get all the water out. If I can get them clean enough I will just stop using them in the bath.
