I make kids laugh.

Foamy Ducky is a foaming spray bath soap. She makes a great gift for kids ages 2 to 3. I bought Foamy Ducky for my daughter’s second birthday and for a few of her friends second and third birthdays. Once you have used up all the soap, you can remove the ducky from the aerosol can and use her as a bath toy. I love ALEX brand bath toys.

Sponge Ducky and tub Crayons

I absorb a lot.

My daughter received Sponge Ducky and tub Crayons in her stocking. They are great but sometimes they take a bit of effort to rub off her skin, which makes me wonder what is in them. I thought they were just soap. The white side of the ducky sponge works well for washing the crayon off the tub. I like that the crayons came with a rubber ducky sponge (that was the selling point), but it would have been neat if they came with a rubber ducky too.

Make time for a bath.

Summer is sweet and special but it is always too short and I am always short of time. This has been the month of barely before midnight - and like tonight - after midnight posts. I am often late, but it just seems that all the chores and tasks line up to the end of the week and end of the night. I am trying to get ready to go to the lake tomorrow and our lunch dishes are still on the table. I usually like to keep a clean house but when you have kids, you need to ignore the cleaning and spend time with them while they are awake. In the summer, you also need to spend time out in the sun while it is shining. Next week, is going to be a week of summer ducks. Tomorrow, I am going to do a photoshoot of summer ducks at the beach.

Hot Tummy Ducky looks like she is made of plastic but she is quite squishy and feels too soft to be plastic. She is really only half a duck since she is flat on the other side. Her tummy stays orange if the bath temperature is perfect, but if it turns red and the words “IT’S TOO HOT!!!” display then add more cold water to baby’s tub. Keep adding water until her tummy turns back to orange.

We’re magical.

Nothing is more fun in the bathtub than playing with colour changing toys. The Colour Changing Trio Duckies make bath time that much more fun. The purple rubber ducky is the largest and has a yellow beak. She changes from purple to pink and this is the most notable transformation of the three. The green rubber duck with the purple beak changes to yellow but it really just looks like a lighter green. The pink rubber duck with the blue beak changes from pink to white and it’s rather noticeable. It’s too bad their beaks don’t change colour too. The two smaller ducks have wings that stick out and the larger duck has wings that stick to her sides.
