Checklist for Bath Toys

Material
  • Bath toys are usually made of plastic. This occurs in solid or elastic form. Few suppliers even start manufacturing water toys from wood to protect the environment
  • The material should absolutely be free of harmful substances. To this end, pay attention to test seals such as Stiftung Warentest. In addition, no plasticizers (BPA) may be contained.
  • Toys for painting in the bathtub are particularly kind to the environment and health, as they are often made from natural products (e.g. food coloring).
  • Cleaning plastic items is easiest, but all toys should be cleaned after bathing.
Safety
  • When it comes to bath toys, care should be taken to ensure clean workmanship and good quality. For example, there should be no sharp edges or valves.
  • For children under 3 years, toys of at least 5cm in size should be used. Detachable small parts are also taboo. In both cases, there is otherwise a risk of suffocation.
  • If the bath toys have a bad smell, this is usually a sign of dangerous substances that can be harmful to health.
  • Despite paying attention to the above factors, children should never be left out of the bath or paddling pool.
Types
  • First and foremost, a distinction is made between the place of use. Is the toy intended for the bathtub or the ocean/pool? Not all materials are suitable for salt/chlorine water.
  • There is also a differentiation between age groups. For example, smaller or swallowable toys are only intended for 3 to 4-year-olds. For toddlers, rubber animals and boats are especially popular. For older children, water squirts or fishing games, for example, are a good choice. Crayons, on the other hand, are fun for all generations.
  • Some variants offer additional functions. These include lights, sound and independent driving over water with the help of a motor.
