Crayola is the BEST!
Now that we have two sons, my husband and I divide and conquer when it comes to bath time. I wash the baby in the kitchen sink (in a baby tub, of course) while my husband gives our toddler son baths in the bathroom tub. Our older son loves bath time, but he’s been so attached to the new baby that he keeps wanting to run to the kitchen to see the little one’s bath instead of taking his own. This all changed last week when I received some Crayola products to review. My toddler, Michael/reviewer once again, stays and plays happily in the bathroom tub.
Michael already loved the Crayola Bathtub Tints (now called Crayola Color Dotz) and hasn’t taken a plain colored bath since he was introduced to them. Now, Crayola has some accessories for the Dotz.
The one that my son loved the most was "ozzie the octopus spout cover". It’s this adorable little octopus that you place over the spout, you put one of the dots in his mouth and colored water comes out from his tentacles when you turn the spout on for bathtime. Unfortunately, our tub’s spout isn’t standard sized so ozzie doesn’t fit (to my son’s dismay). So, we now have an octopus on our (standard-sized) bathroom sink…not quite the same effect but it makes Michael happy.
The next item that he tested was the "color dotz tub boat". You put dotz into each of the boat wheels, pull the flag post, and put the boat in the bath water. The boat then travels through the tub, coloring the water. It works really well at coloring the water and is a fun boat to play with at the same time. Michael really liked it.
In addition to the two toys, Michael tested their "bath caddy". It includes bath crayons, bathtub paints and a jar of the dotz. Everything fits into a Crayola caddy that sticks to your bath wall with two suction cups. All of the bath coloring items were fun for Michael to use. Last, but definitely not least, Crayola included 30 packs of bath markers for attendees at our March playdate. Crayola is the BEST! Definitely look out for these products in your local toy stores.

Color Dotz are GREAT!! My 2 1/2 year old daughter absolutely loves them!! We have a bath toy which sticks to the bath tiles and you put the dotz into the top and add water, which dribbles down and eventually changes the color of the bath water. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to get replacements here in Australia. If anyone can help, I’d love to hear from them!
