Bath Toys for Older Kids?

[hermione]

Any suggestions? C is almost 7. Baths are a nice way to buy ourselves some much needed separation. Any fun bath toys for older kids?

Bath crayons. My kids still like the hard plastic, solid animals you can buy (like Schleich, or Safari brand at Michael's). We have a diver and a bunch of sharks & sea creatures. The girls (5 & 7) like bath Barbies and Barbie mermaids.

Not positive if they still make them, but Hexbug had made robotic fish that would swim in water that my kids still like. Other than that, bath crayons as other suggested. My dd also uses barbie puppies that came with a pool set in the bath.

My kid that will still take a bath just makes his out of stuff - cleaned out ketchup squeeze bottle, tictac container, legos, plastic dinosaurs, etc. We recycle the containers after 1-2 weeks before they get moldy.

DS who is nearly 6 loves rubber ducks and hot wheel cars in the bath. He loves to race with them.

Right now it’s small my little ponies.

She used to have a few other random plastic toys in there.

Basically anything out of a blind bag that isn’t too small to go down the drain.

My 6yos love those robotic fish.

My grade schoolers use “regular” toys in the bath frequently. Plastic/rubber characters, barbies etc.

OH! I forgot that my daughter's favorite bath toy that she uses for her longest and most elaborate bath games is an empty travel size bottle (not even sure what it was, the writing has all rubbed off).

In the bath and out, my boys love all things cars and trucks. I just bought them a Green Toys ferry boat and tugboat. They already have the submarine, which get a fair amount of use. They also play with matchbox cars in the tub.

DD brings in Polly Pockets or any of her plastic animals.
She also enjoys bath bombs with toys inside.

This thread prompted me to find this on Amazon. My two are 9 and 6 and this has kept them very busy! i even left a review because it's marketed towards babies and toddlers but it's an awesome STEM activity for older kids.
