A Splashing Good Time

Dirty Knees, soiled hands, smudgy noses, and ears you could grow potatoes in — just a few of the many reasons to make a child’s bath time a daily habit. There isn’t a parent on the planet that can avoid its necessity, and there isn’t a child that doesn’t benefit from its soothing properties. Starting from birth, the sound of warm water running into a bathtub is a ritual that wiggly babies and splashy toddlers learn to love; and whether the bath is filled with bouncy bubbles, calming essential oils, or just plain old H2O, all children want to add fun to bath time!

Today, it is more possible than ever to provide mental stimulation in the form of fun and parents know that the precious moments they spend with their child in the bath are moments that will be cherished for life. These fun-filled opportunities take us away from the pressures of the modern world offering space for children and parents to connect, laugh, and learn from each other.

At The Giggle Guide^®, we take those golden opportunities for fun and bonding very seriously, which is why we search the globe for toy makers that have come up with options that today’s parent will make tomorrow’s tradition. With toy creators like Elegant Baby, Hoppop, and Boogaloo, bath time has become more than a way to get rid of the dirt between a toddlers toes, it has become a time for engagement, laughter and memories. From the simplicity of yesterday’s rubber ducky, to the innovative toys of today, we have a selection of bath time fun that is sure to launch happy children to the tub again and again!
