New Mold Free Bath Toys!


So that clever Easter Bunny put some bath crayons in Connor's basket - WAY COOL. A few weeks ago my friend Holly had emailed me an article about bath toys and the mold that can collect inside. Well I had suspected that water sitting in those squirty toys could not be good, and that there well may be some yuckies living on the inside. But I chose to be niave because they provided bath time delight to my little guy. But when Holly sent me the article, I couldn't ignore it any longer. I went straight to my nursing bag, grabbed my bandage scissors and snipped my way through the squirty whale, ducky, hippo and his friends. Sure enough, much to my horror, was gross black mold covering the inners of these little bath creatures. I was so disgusted! I threw each and every one out. So for the past few weeks Connor has had one cup to play with in the tub. Poor guy. Until the Easter bunny found those awesome crayons! Connor was in heaven. He colored to his little hearts content all over that darn tub. Unfortunetly that will most likely be the last time he uses them because 1) they were almost used up and 2) they don't really "wipe off easily" as the package would have you believe. Yes, after two coats of cleaner and lots and lots of scouring, it finally came off......

Those are footballs in drawn in the background. Connor insists we draw him basketballs and footballs everytime he colors. He is obsessed with them.

So, so cool! Love the pictures-they are so colorful and fun. Poor, L not sure what I am going to replace her toys with as I am not to keen on the "not so easy clean up".

So cute Amy! You should check out the tub paints...I think they are a little easier to get off :). There is also tub dye to make the water different colors and fun sponge toys that start as a pill and turn into a sponge in the water. The other thing Will loves are the sets that come together where you can build a city or pirate ship. I am not sure the name, but I will find out for you...So fun!
