Bubbles, splashing, and bath toys can help change bath time from something that some children are not fond of to something they look forward to! This list offers a variety of fun bath toys for preschoolers (around 3,4, or 5 years old).
Some things we look at when determining if a bath toy is good and safe: materials, mold free (or at least unlikely to get moldy), age appropriate, and engaging.
