Review: Bath Time: Flow and Fill Spout
Are you looking for that perfect bath toy for your child?
Look no further than the Flow N Fill Spout from the Yookidoo line of International Playthings. Both of our daughters, Emma (3 1/2) and Brooke (8 months), love this colorful and playful fountain. For now, Brooke likes to listen to the water and watch it go through the cups, while Emma loves to play with the three different activity cups. The first cup, "Greenie", has a little propeller that spins as the water flows through. The blue cup has small holes in the bottom to act like a little shower, while the red cup has a hidden surprise in the form of a peek-a-boo friend that rises with the water level in the cup! If your kids are fans of Handy Manny, the design reminds me a lot of the tools on the show.
After taking the spout out of the packaging, you will need to unscrew the back to install 3 "AA" batteries (not included). Once it is back together and sealed, you attach the nice-sized suction cup to the side of the bathtub. Once you fill the tub with water, make sure the water level is above the bottom of the tube that sticks down. This tube is what takes the water up from the bathtub and out through the swiveling spout. *NOTE* Be careful not to run it without water or you can burn out the pump that sits behind the orange face!
One of the best parts for us parents is there is no continuous running of the faucet, so you don't waste water!
*Flow N Fill Spout received the Parents' Choice Gold Award for Toys in Fall 2009.
