A Frog in the Bathtub?

Bath time is supposed to be fun for kids. Having toys around can definitely entertain them while receiving a scrub from momma!

We found this very cute drainable scoop for collecting and rinsing toys. It attaches semi-permanently to the bathtub wall with adhesive strips that can be removed without harming tile or wall surfaces. It can also be screw-mounted. What kid wouldn't enjoy a frog in the bathtub?

Haba Haba

We came across Haba, a German toy manufacturer, and completely fell in love with their products.
The toys are educational, and so well designed!
Haba toys are available in limited locations in the US. We did a quick search on Google and fortunately came up with multiple options to buy them online.
