Kids and baths either mix very well or go very badly. You’d be surprised just how many children hate being washed so it is imperative that bath times are made to be enjoyable and stress free. There are some fantastic bath toys that can supplement bathing perfectly and get everyone enjoying themselves,  here are the best 3.

The rubber duck. You really cannot have a bath without the iconic rubber duck. Its not too hard to see why it is consistently the best selling bath toy in shops. Having a animal in the bath is always great fun for children and especially one that can squirt water and bop up to the surface time and again. They’re simple but perfect, so make sure you have a few.

Squirters.If your rubber duck comes without a water squirter then its worth getting a separate one. Its great fun for kids to be able to spurt water in the bath and they can do so without doing any damage or getting anything wet that shouldn’t be. Its also a great method to get your child clean and its always a bit of fun getting squirted and they won’t object anywhere near as much as they do when you try and sponge them down. Just keep filling it up and soaking them down using it.

Sticky numbers. Not all bath toys are simply for play.  Kids learn best when they are relaxed and enjoying themselves  so it’s good to have plenty of learning toys or educational toys that can be used in the bath as well. There has been an increase in the about of these toys made for bath time recently, including one that teaches children about object density. Those sticky number made from foam are definitely the best on the market though.  These not only help with mathematics but also teach kids about surface tension and friction when the stick the number to the side of the bath.
