How we reviewed it
What owners say.
- 2 positive
Paraphrased from public owner reviews. Each one links to where it was posted.
A 14-month-old loves it in the bath, and the magnetized characters make it easy for her to fish them out.
Bought for a grandson; the bright colors stood out, and it should work for summer water play too.
