Water Water Everywhere

Boon Bath Toys

They have endless enthusiasm for getting completely filthy; it’s the washing off they dread.

Turn the tub into a playground with Boon’s new bath toys.

Fun distractions like Water Bugs, floating critters to catch in a handled mesh net; Splat, a ring toss complete with floating post; and Scrubble, a set of three scrubbers that also squirt water, mean your kids won’t notice when you scrub behind their ears.

Everything is BPA, phthalate, and PVC free, so their insides will be as clean as their outsides.

And that’s sure to make a splash.

Available at Babies ‘R’ Us, 5700 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church (703-575-9542 or babiesrus.com). To see styles, go to booninc.com.
