Perfect for little squirts! Bathtime can be fun with our squirting toys - ideal for little ones who don’t want to stay in the water long enough to get clean. Parents can persuade them to stay in the bath a bit longer by making it into a game - give the toys a squeeze and let the games begin!

Bathtime is a special time in many households. For a parent who works in the day, bath and bedtime might be the only quality time they get with their child during the week, so making it a fun and memorable part of the day, where they can enjoy some one-on-one bonding, is really important.

Baby Brands Direct stocks a wide range of fun bathtime toys and squirters, with quality brands such as Munchkin, Tomy and Vital. We are also delighted to be stocking a whole new range from one of our favourite brands - Janod. Look out for fun characters including sea creatures, farmyard animals, unicorns and more!


 


Why do bath squirters sell so well?

You can’t go wrong with a bath squirter. If you have a customer who is looking for an affordable toy for a baby or toddler, they will be onto a winner with a bath squirter. That’s why it pays to stock a good selection, so there’s always a new one to be found. Bath squirters are usually priced to fit into the impulse or ‘everyday’ price bracket, so your customers should happily pick up a bath squirter toy to give as a small gift if they are visiting, or as a ‘just because’ toy. Bathtime is part of a daily routine for most little children, so you can guarantee that a bath squirter is going to get plenty of use, and not be one of those toys that ends up shoved at the back of a shelf or cupboard.

The sensory benefits of bath squirters

There’s so much more to bathtime than just getting a child clean. It’s a lovely relaxing end to a long day of playing - for parents and children! It gives everyone a chance to relax and unwind. Little ones will enjoy the sensory experience of the warm water - maybe some bubbles - and the feel of the air and the water on their skin. For very little ones, the squirters can be used by an adult to squirt water onto the skin. This is guaranteed to raise a few smiles and giggles as they get used to feeling the liquid tickle and trickle on their skin. Playing together like this is hugely beneficial for everyone, and helps to increase the bond between the adult and child. This kind of one-to-one time helps to improve self-confidence as children feel loved and secure, and is ever-more important when we all lead such busy lives.

Developmental benefits of bath squirters

As little ones learn to use the squirter themselves, they will be developing fine motor skills. They can also work on their hand-eye coordination as they learn how to aim the squirter. This is even more fun if there are two little ones sharing a bath. Using bath squirters can even introduce them to mathematical and scientific concepts, as they learn how much pressure is needed to get a good squirt, the volume of water that can be sucked up and more. Baby Brands Direct stocks a huge range of bath squirters, with different characters to aid learning. For instance, children can learn to identify animals with the Munchkin Bath Squirters Ocean Buddies 8Pk, which includes a starfish, walrus, shark, and penguin. Of course, the bright colours allow parents to introduce the different colours to little ones, and some toys, such as the Tomy Bath Playset Octopals, feature numbers too, so you can get in a little maths learning. Some of our new Janod sets have knights, princesses, dragons and unicorns, so they can even become characters in bathtime storytelling.

Learning to love the water

Did you know that squirters are used by swimming teachers when teaching very little children to swim? They help them get used to the water, learn not to be afraid of it, and generally increase confidence in the water. Another great benefit to explain to customers.
