Toy Boats
Boats for bath and water play: wooden boats, floating tugs and ferries, sailing boats, wind-up boats and boat sets.
Water play with a purpose
A boat gives bath time and paddling pool time a story, which is usually the difference between five minutes and half an hour. Loading figures and cargo onto a deck is a small engineering problem a four-year-old takes seriously. Floating, sinking and balance are all learned by hand rather than by explanation.
Choosing a boat that lasts
Look for boats that drain and dry properly, since anything that holds water inside will eventually smell. Wooden boats with a sealed finish take repeated soaking better than untreated wood. A wide hull is far more stable, which matters when a child insists on loading every figure they own.
