Cool Pool Toys for Entertainment and Education
I’ve got some friends who are foster parents. They’ve been fostering different children for several years, and I wanted to share these pool toys with them. They’ve also got teenagers and tweens. Guess who loved the musical duck race the most? Yep, the teens! They love the water squirting at them! The only suggestion they had was that the music should be a bit louder. I told them…ummm, it’s for baby ears! Teens love loud music.
When the littles finally got to play with the toys they adored them as well. They kept laughing and laughing at the ducks. All in all these pool/bath toys are a huge hit. My daughter is saving Minnie and Mickey for one of her church friends who is having a baby soon. They’ll be perfect.
Musical Duck Race
Quack, quack! Little ones have tons of pool fun with the candy-striped Yookidoo® Musical Duck Race that comes with four cute duckies that ring around the fountain. Press the leaf-leaver to activate one of nine random sound and water effects and place a duck on top of the water fountain for even more water effects. This musical tub toy develops hand-eye coordination, cause and effect, and teaches colors and counting.
This toy is adorable! I love that it can go in the pool or the tub. Your little ones will be learning without even knowing it. They’ll just know that they are having fun! The music makes it engaging, and little ones are learning, “If I do this, then that will happen.” Very Pavlovian. Impressed? Yeah, I graduated with a BA in Psychology and still remember stuff!
GeoSafari Jr. SubScope
Curious kids can discover wonderful underwater worlds—without getting their heads wet— with the GeoSafari® Jr. SubScope™ from Educational Insights. Its 2x magnification is just strong enough for “whoas” and “cools” but low enough to allow for a wide field of view, which is essential for young children’s understanding of up-close exploration. Perfect for STEM learning or pretend play in the pool. Purchase this online at www.Amazon.com
This is a seriously cool toy! No more having to use a goggle mask pressed up against your face which is what I used to do to try to keep my head out of the water while still looking at all of the cool stuff under the water. This is a must for beach trips! Your kids will love looking at the little fish swimming just under the surface.
- Includes a sturdy, focus-free, water-resistant scope with 2x magnification and 3 LED lights.
- Two large eyepieces with comfy goggle and nose cut-out guide provide guidance for perfect eye placement.
- Supports STEM learning!
Minnie and Mickey SoapSox
Take stuffed animals into the pool? Say yes with SoapSox featuring six beloved Disney characters, including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Ariel, Flounder, Nemo and Squirt. Suds up at bath time with a SoapSox Disney Minnie and Mickey Mouse Bath Scrubs. While the fun and familiar plush character will entice your reluctant bather into the tub, fill with your favorite liquid or bar soap and dip in water to gently wash your baby clean. For ages Birth + Purchase these online at www.BuyBuyBaby.com
You may already know this, but I am a Disney fanatic. If I could work at Disney World, I would! I’d love to be the person who gives out bandages and lollipops in the first aid room. Anything that keeps me in the A/C all day and yet lets me be in the most magical place on earth is good by me. These SoapSox are so cute because kids love taking stuffed animals everywhere! I remember my kids wanting their stuffed animals in the tub with them. Nope. Didn’t happen. With these SoapSox, you don’t have to worry since they’ll get dry quickly.

What pool toys and bath toys are your child’s favorites? Which of these do you think they’d like the best?
They never had anything like these toys when my kids were growing up. Will have to show my daughter for her children and see what she thinks.
Definitely! I’ll bet they’d love them.
My kiddo would love that sub scope. He loves to look under water this to be a great way for him to do it without actually having to dive in all the time. It’s a fun idea I wish I thought of it when he was a little bit younger.
It’s so fun!
You know what? It really never occurred to me to have toys in the pool! What a fantastic idea! These toys make for great gifts for summer babies.
Yes, they definitely make great gifts.
My kids love watering cans and watermills. They have a frog that you pull a string and it swims on it’s own and that’s a favourite too. They absolutely love the bath!
Bath toys are the best!
My kids would of loved these pool toys when they were little. So adorable.
They’re so fun!
These do look like fun toys! My kids love being in the pool so they’d have a blast with these.
I’m sure they would too!
Oh my goodness! My kids will LOVE the SubScope! I’m adding that to the birthday list.
Isn’t it great??
That Spark Shark toss and catch toy looks like a ton of fun. And who doesn’t love Minnie and Mickey Mouse?
Exactly! Something for everyone!
Thankfully my kids are all done with baths and bath toys! I love that they take showers now.
LOL well they can play in the pool!
The musical birds are my favorite because it reminds me of a similar bath toy that my son loved! The glass bottom boat toy is cool too.
I think it is so cool too!
These toys are adorable! And looks like something kids would truly enjoy. I’m sad my kids have outgrown cute toys like these, but I do often buy toys for the babies and toddlers in our family, I’ll have to keep these in mind.
I wish mine had had these when they were little too! I’m glad I have someone to bless with them!
This looks like a wonderful toy! I have a couple of little guys who would have a fun time with this! It looks like your little one had fun too!
They’d love these!
Oh my goodness, these toys look like so much fun! My daughter is almost two and in Summer we literally live in the pool (we live in QLD, Australia so it gets HOT). I know she would love to give some of these toys are whirl.
I’m sure it really gets hot there! She’d love the shower toys since they spray and keep you cooler!
The summer is all about pool fun for us. I love all these toys. My daughters are 6 and 4 and they really enjoy bringing toys into the pool. Diving toys, pool balls, and more are always so much fun.
That is awesome!
These toys are so cool! I would love the musical ducks for my youngest grandchild. However, the subscope would be perfect for my granddaughter! If we can’t make it to the beach, the lake or the river nearby would be a good place to test the subscope out.
Yes, even a little creek would be cool to explore with one!
These are adorable! I think its so cute for the infants to have play toys in the pool.
I do too. My kids loved pool toys!
My kids went through stages of hating baths to loving baths. No matter what stage, they loved playing with toys in the tub. Once the toys were added, they didnt’ want to get out! LOVE the minnie & mickey – so cute!
Bath toys are the best for getting them to want baths!
Those Disney bath stuffed animals are so cute! That little chubby Ariel and Mickey totally get me – my kids would have LOVED these when they were little!
I think those are adorable too!

Pool toys are always fun!
