Interactive Kids Bath Toys and Gentle Body Products

by Katie Wallace | Updated: November 25, 2015

Bath time can be a highlight of the day or a total struggle, depending on the mood of your kids. We’ve found that the right toys and products can turn bath time into something kids look forward to. Here are some of our favorite interactive kids bath toys and gentle body products that make getting clean exciting and fun.

Yookidoo Interactive Bath Toys

Yookidoo really knows what captures a child’s attention during bath time. We tried two of their most interactive kids bath toys: the Flow ‘N’ Fill Spout and the Submarine Spray Station.

The Flow ‘N’ Fill Spout draws water up through a spout, letting kids fill and pour stacking cups with friendly faces. One cup has a hole in the bottom, which spins a pinwheel when water flows through. This movement is a fun way to introduce cause-and-effect play and water-powered action.

The Submarine Spray Station includes a small underwater pump and a handheld shower wand that kids can use to fill different parts of the play station. It sprays water, spins googly eyes, and powers another pinwheel. Our kids even use the wand to rinse themselves off, which helps build confidence in learning how to wash on their own.

Both of these bath toys were winners in our Top Product Awards for their creative design and hands-on interaction.

Sudsy Bath Soap

If your kids need a little extra motivation to lather up, Sudsy Dough Moldable Soap is a fun way to teach them how to wash. It’s squishy like play dough and infused with moisturizing ingredients like shea butter and beeswax. Each tub comes with a surprise bath toy and is available in fun scents like Merry Mango, Bubbly Blueberry, and Awesome Apple. Our girls especially love pairing Sudsy Dough with their bath crayons to create bubbly art on the tub walls.

TOMY Interactive Bath Toys

Additionally, TOMY’s interactive kids bath toys are also a hit with our children. One of our favorites is the See Under the Sea Submarine, which lights up and plays music underwater. Kids can press buttons to activate realistic submarine sounds or launch the walrus captain into the water. Other fun TOMY picks include the Water Whistler and the Rocket Fountain, both of which keep bath time exciting.

Natural Bath Products from Active Essentials

Furthermore, we love using the gentle, natural body care products from Active Essentials. Their Egyptian Calendula & Aloe Baby Body Wash is soft and nourishing, made with ingredients like coconut oil and free from harsh chemicals. It leaves skin clean without drying it out.

The Calendula Baby Bath Oil is great for moisturizing sensitive skin, and the Comfrey Healing Baby Balm works well for soothing eczema, cradle cap, and dry patches. These products are plant-based and rich in nutrients that support healthy skin.

Soft Kids Towels from Breganwood

To finish bath time, we love wrapping our kids in Breganwood’s organic hooded towels. They’re thick, soft, and generously sized. The jungle-themed designs are whimsical and modern, and the quality is top notch. After a warm bath, these cozy towels help make the transition to pajamas feel extra special.

Bath time doesn’t have to be a chore. With a few interactive toys and quality products, it can become something your kids look forward to. These bath time favorites also make great gifts for birthdays, holidays, or baby showers. More than just getting clean, bath time is a chance for kids to play, learn, and gain a little more independence each day.

Let us know what your kids love most about bath time. We’d love to hear your favorite routines and products!

Secrets revealed 🌍 for family travel & worldsch Secrets revealed 🌍 for family travel & worldschooling!

These tips make traveling with kids ALOT easier!

πŸ“š Schoolwork: Our kids complete lessons in their workbooks several times a week. While traveling, we often bring along Math-U-See workbooks, language arts, and spelling. This keeps our kids moving forward and feeling productive. 

🏰 Field trips: We go on excursions to amazing castles, fascinating museums, and interesting cultural centers. We talk about geography and science as we explore amazing places!

🎧 Downtime: We often have rest time while traveling. We read books or listen to audio books and music.  

πŸ’Ά Allowance: We give our kids weekly spending money. They can earn this by doing chores at our Airbnb. I also pay our kids to participate in family photos, often $5 each per city! This results in great attitudes when taking photos in Paris, Rome, or London. πŸ“ΈπŸ˜€

With these tips, our travel life easily becomes regular life, and we get to see amazing destinations and make memories together!

Airbnb makes traveling with kids so flexible! But Airbnb makes traveling with kids so flexible! But we’ve had to buy some household essentials for our stays. We usually bring our own:

trash bags, cleaning supplies, laundry soap & stain remover, sponges & dish brushes, extra toilet paper, sometimes cute decor! πŸ˜† 

The reason for this is that Airbnbs are usually not stocked with household supplies. I have my own go-to to favorite products for wiping countertops and doing laundry. 

Additionally, when we travel, we often stay in 5 to 10 Airbnbs, and it’s nice to have our household essentials with us. 

Which household essentials can you not do without while traveling? 😊🧻
