Is it hard wearing? - 18-month-olds aren't always as gentle as they should be, so toys and play pieces need to be robust and be able to withstand some rough handling.
Age suitable from: 12 months to 5 years | Batteries required: 3x AAA batteries required What we loveWe think Nuby Foam Bath Letters and Numbers are the best bath toy currently available. Mumsnetters praise their versatility, affordability and their encouragement of interactive play. And they're educational too - win-win! How we chose our recommendations Recommendations from real parents The set comes with two large faces and a range of different features including eyes, noses, mouths, glasses and hairstyles, so children can get creative and use their imagination to create the most hilarious combinations.
I’ve had some brilliant bath time toys in the past but this tops them all. As with Tomy Toomies toys, they are made of high quality, they are robust and strong. Great colours which are bright, vibrant and bold which most certainly catches the eye of the child and enables them to learn colours at the same time. Whilst parents may curse the Toot-Toot songs and melodies when we find ourselves singing them in the shower, kids just can’t get enough of the Toot-Toot cars and vehicles.
What kind of toys do 18-month-olds like?
If your child goes through a stage of not enjoying bath time (and many do), a couple of new bath toys might encourage them into the tub. When you’re away or on holiday, seeing a familiar toy come out at bath time may also help them to feel more comfortable and secure.
The toddler years are such an exciting time. By 18 months old, your baby is likely to be fully mobile, cruising or taking those first tentative steps. They’re also going to be learning a bit more about the world around them, keen to play independently, explore their surroundings and do things unassisted.
6. Best bath toy for toddlers: Kitpas Bath Crayons
The Toot Toot cars and garage are a huge hit in my household, there is also a fire station, police station, airport and loads more and they all connect together” (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user December2019) It comes with two toy cars to load up, a slide-out ramp and a cargo bay that unclips for fuss-free washing. As for design, it's easy to grip in the bath, and it generally feels really solid – we think it will last for years. It's also pretty versatile as bath toys come so you may well find it relocating to your baby play mat or playpen when bathtime's over! Is there anything more relaxing than In the Night Garden’s Iggle Piggle floating down the river in his boat? It’s a sight that has reduced most parents to tears of gratitude at least once in the early evening.
The alternative for those who are mould-averse is to simply replace your bath toys every few months, but the impact on the environment and your budget could be off-putting. What is the best bath toy? It comes with 3 cones which have a flat bottom which enables them to be steadily placed on the side down without falling down. The even have the markings on them just like a real cone.Is it appealing to your child? - The best toys will offer enticing elements such as bright colours, moving parts or familiar actions to attract and hold your child’s attention. 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? 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. The boat also has a shape-sorter with foam shapes that float in the water, and Iggle Piggle himself also comes in two parts to act as a water-pouring toy. 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
