Giving very young children a bath can be one of the most challenging family tasks. Reasons may range from a youngster’s dislike of bathing, period, to their being unable to sit still while being washed. A long-effective means to make young-age bathing enjoyable has been the use of toys. Floating rubber duckies have been longtime all-ages bathtub companions for that reason. Not all toys can be used like so. LEGO bricks certainly won’t work; smaller pieces could easily disappear underwater. What about LEGO’s big little brother, Duplo? Judging from these newly-available sets, they could work.
According to Brick Fanatics, three bathing-themed Duplo sets are now available via LEGO.com online. All of them center on cute Duplo-brick animals that combine with flotation devices shaped like swim rings. These early-age builds are so buoyant that, as seen in the box art, they’ll keep afloat even when poured on. We’ve got an adorable variety of Duplo critters that kiddie builders can choose from. Each set comes with a tiny plastic bucket for them to load water to splash on their floating buddies. The price ranges are pretty chill too, depending on how many floating Duplo-animals you want for your child. Let’s see them:
