Product Information

We have a mix of Ikea and Brio which fit together. Brio have interesting add ons like a station, car parking garage etc (highly recommend the Brio car parking garage it is my two sons most used toy)” (Recommended by Mumsnet user Sandytoes86) Our verdict Once they can be trusted not to put everything in their mouths, creative toys like bath crayons are a great buy. Do encourage them to keep their artwork to the sides of the bath though – crayon marks don't tend to come out of the grouting. Are there any educational benefits? - From creativity to role play, fine motor skills, physical skills, communication or even helping to teach numbers, colours and words, many toys for 18 months old can offer significant educational benefits without your toddler even realising. It’s so simple, effective and so easy to use. It’s a great way and ideal for disbar ting children as they gain more confidence in the water. Age suitable from: 12 months to 5 years | Batteries required: 3x AAA batteries required What we love

Familiar faces and characters are generally very helpful for a child who’s bath shy. If it gets them into the bath when you can’t, then who are we to argue? When should I start using bath toys? Every bath time needs a really good boat and we love this ferry by Green Toys that’s sure to remind them of holidays to France or the Isle of Wight. Colour scheme - Toys that are colourful will appeal to children who are eager to play and engage with their surroundings and will be easier to spot in the water. Muted colour palettes can look nicer in a modern bathroom, whilst monochrome and contrasting colours are ideal for young babies.

Iggle Piggle’s Bath Time Boat Toy has an ever-changing light-up pattern in three LED colours that create a soothing glow under the water that children seem to find really relaxing – perfect for a quiet bath before bedtime.

Mumsnetters praise their versatility, affordability and their encouragement of interactive play. And they're educational too - win-win!
