Education and Fun in the Bath

By Pola Rosen, Ed.D.

From ages three to nine, children will clamor for and enjoy bath time with ArtFoams, a creative assortment of rubberized shapes that stick to the tiles of a tub. One grouping, called Creature Creator, allows children to make funny animals and includes facial expression shapes like smiling mouths, big eyes, pouting lips, crowns, flippers, buckets and many more, all in brightly colored shapes. Children can make real as well as fantasy creatures.

Another ArtFoam encourages children to create architecture designing buildings and indeed, mini-cities on the walls of the tub. My granddaughter, Emily, an intelligent and beautiful 7 and a half year old, became enamored of ArtFoams. Suddenly, the bathroom has become a place for art creation and proud display.

I rarely recommend toys in the pages of Education Update but this one gets a ten out of ten.
