Moms of Older Kids (7 years old) or anyone else

[fivechickens]

My girls need new bath toys. All I see online are for toddlers. Can you recommend your bath toys for older kids.

Thank you!!

I have one who likes showers but two that still enjoy playing in the tub.

[NomadicMama]

My son typically took showers, but when he did take the occasional bath in the evening, he enjoyed when I put glow sticks in the water.

DS1 still loves baths and he usually likes bubble baths to plat with the bubbles, the color tabs, and cups,spray bottles or squirt bottles. Nothing 'toy' specific, but just stuff I had around the house. Honestly, he really like the peri bottles I had leftover from giving birth.

My boys love bath bombs.

Look for pool toys? My DD has these octopus thingys she played with that we got from the pool aisle.

My 5 and 8 year olds take their LOL Dolls to the bath or shower.

[fancynewbeesly]

Shopkins, LOL dolls and Barbie dolls are her bathtub toys.

My son is 7 and still likes a bath now and then. He has a hexbug fish he plays with in there, otherwise he likes bath bombs with things in them and other random stuff like lego dinos. We don't have specific bath toys though anymore.

The Barbies made for water are the favorites here. As are plastic tea set items. Ditto pool toys.

My kids take a least one bubble bath a week because it's a fun change from the showers they get after swim practice.

My youngest liked this kind of thing.

Other faves of my kids' are scuba steve from a local store, dolphins that make music and a pirate thing. I'll see if I can find links.

When my 9yo takes a bath, it’s mostly a line of miniature My Little Ponys

[CloudBee]

We buy these for $1 pack at Michael's, in the section where they keep party favor type toys.

[jezebel]

My 7 yo just takes whatever plastic toys she is in the mood for. Little plastic animals are good.

[cmeon]

Mine are 9 and 11 and haven't normally taken baths in quite some time- but, some of DD's favorites when she was younger were clear plastic "condiment" bottles (cheap- you can get 2/3 packs for $1 at craft stores) with a little food coloring in them, plastic cups and dinnerware- LOL- and always bubbles. They both still love bath bombs (easy to DIY), but, that's the only time they prefer baths anymore.

My 8 yr old takes showers most nights, but on weekends, we do bath bombs and she loves them.

If you have wall space, there’s an Alex US map puzzle that’s fun. It sticks to the wall

[irishbride2]

Dd is 8 and loves baths. Generally she just takes a book, but sometimes she’ll throw in some plastic dolls (like LOLs)

[readyin07]

My boys are 9 and 7 and I still throw them in the bath together at night. Sometimes with the toddler baby brother 😳 is that awful? They don’t so much play but I think it is a kind of nice ritual to sit in warm water before bed and relax and then they shower off.

Anyway, I am going to get my baby some of the Boon bath tubes and I think older kids would maybe like those, discovery makes a floating maze thingy that might be cool and I picked up a crayola color science-y thing with colored fizzies that I think would be fun. Also colored foam soap is fun.

Vintage sea wees! (mermaid dolls). From the 70s, but they were the best tub toys. You can get some for cheap on ebay.

[foodiemom]

At that age my kids were more into things like big cups, the set of stackable measuring cups, anything that squirts, basketball net, etc.

[LanaLang]

Mine is currently six. Any combination of color tablets, tub paint, bubble bath, small animals (like zoo toobs) swim goggles, and something to catch with like a strainer or net. I also have a clear shower liner with no curtain so it's all open. He loves turning on the sprayer (hose style) and spraying everything with no mess, or shooting water guns in the tub. For shower, nothing is more fun than a good super ball, especially if it's a big walk in shower.

[minzy]

A squeegee scraper for the walls. They love it and they’re technically cleaning at the same time, win win.

[huskymom]

Mermaid barbies, LOLs, we still have a set of the letters that the 7 year old will play with the 4 year, teacher style...

But mainly they take showers now and it’s soooo much easier!

[dcrunnergirl52]

My 8 and 5 year olds take "brother baths" together every so often b/c they love playing in the water (and sometimes I throw my 10 month old DS3 in with them too). They just use their pool toys that otherwise don't see the light of day until the summer.

[calmcosmo]

My 8 and 9 year olds shower now. When they do take baths for fun my daughter (9) likes bath bombs and relaxing. My son(8) just bring in the toys from when he was little which are still in a plastic bucket in their bathroom.

[jenna]

My 7 year old still likes to play with his Green Toys Ferry boat and car. He also has the Green Toys helicopter.
