You might be scratching your head at what appears to be misplaced excitement over a silly vintage toy. This isn't just a toy. It's THE toy. The ultimate bath toy. Ok, that may be a slight exaggeration. The thing is, when I was young, my siblings and I had one of these. We played with it during every bath time session. We spent hours enjoying this toy.
Also, there is simply nothing like it at the toy store. They just don't make anything that comes remotely close (that I have been able to find). This bath toy floats. It comes with a plane and a boat that actually float (and won't fill with water and sink to the bottom of the bathtub within five minutes). It has a pull out diving board. It has a secret tunnel. It has a garage. It has a dock. I has a boat storage thingy that lowers the toy boat into the water. It has a white-bearded fisherman!
My six year old imagination had so much fun with this thing. I never wanted to get out of the tub. Just seeing this toy again makes me smile. And now I'm so happy that I get to share it with my kids! They better love it. Or else. (Or I'll just lock the bathroom door and play with it myself when no one is looking!).
It's MINE!
That does sound amazing. But I definitely don't want to EXTEND my kids' time in the tub. It's already impossible to get them out! Do your boys take baths together? I can imagine how adorable it would be to have them both splashing and playing with one of your favorite childhood toys.
ReplyDeleteWe had that bath you growing up! And it IS the greatest one of all time. If my kids took baths instead of group showers I'd steal it from my parents' house. Instead it's a treat for them when we visit :). I love all those old Little People toys- SO much better than the current versions.
