For kids, bath time is one of the joys of life. Bath toys are part and parcel of taking a bath. For parents, choosing the right bath toys that straddle fun and safety requires some thought and with younger kids, constant supervision. Bath toys that float are obviously good choices. The all time favorite, the little rubber yellow ducky, tops the list. He squeaks, floats and is cute.

However, come bath time, kids want to bring half of their toy chest in to the tub. A Barbie doll or a metal car may be must-haves for your child. You’re afraid of the danger posed by these bath time toys that tend to sink rather than swim. A bath full of bubbles, with Barbie or the beloved metal car at the bottom of the tub, means that there’s the potential of your child going underwater to search out their toy. So direct supervision is an absolute necessity. Even when you’re right there, a child might dip their head underwater to retrieve their toy, swallowing water simply because they don’t know any better. Such an event can trigger a fear of water in a child that’s not easily outgrown.

This is why it’s a good idea to have a collection of floating bath toys which are on the ‘approved’ list of bath toys. When you’re toy shopping, be on the lookout for any cute, floating toy that also catches the eye of your kids. Assemble a box full of these toys, so that, come bath time, there is no shortage of a tub full of safe bath toys. Your kids will come to revere this choice collection of toys, exclusively meant for bath time enjoyment.

However, there’s bound to be a toy or two that doesn’t fall in to the floating category. Perhaps your child just can’t do without that metal race car. In this case, make a game out of finding the toy which has sunk to the bottom. Where has it gone? Let’s see how quickly you can find it, without looking. Now finding the missing bath toy becomes a safe game. However, don’t fool yourself for a second. Should you leave the room to answer the phone, disaster can ensue. Kids are adventurous and inexperienced in life. They won’t know they’re putting themselves in danger by sticking their head underwater. Such accidents happen in seconds. Make sure you’re always present at bath time with younger children.

Foam wrist and ankle toys, meant for use in swimming pools, make excellent toys for the bath. Kids thrill to the idea that feet and hands can float in the bath, while the rest of their body sits firmly on the bottom of the tub.

Choosing good bath toys for bath time fun is an art. Convincing the kids that these designated toys are the ones they choose is a talent to be cultivated. In the end, all purposes are served. Safe and happy kids are your end objective.

Barbie is a fashion doll created by Mattel. She was launched March 1959 and from then on has been one of the famous dolls. It is believed that credit for Barbie’s creation and success should be given to American businesswoman Ruth Handler who was inspired by German doll called Bild Lilli and eventually was led to the idea of developing a similar doll but should be called Barbie.

For almost fifty years, Barbie has been a part of every girls’ wish list for Christmas or other similar occasions. She has been one of the kids’ most favorite toys and has been one of the best seller toys online, particularly in eBay and Amazon.

However, although Barbie has definitely been a part of every girls’ life, she continued to be the subject of many lawsuits and controversies, oftentimes involving parody of the doll and her lifestyle. Recently, Barbie has faced stiff competition with Bratz range of dolls which are dolls that have also been so popular to girls.

But despite the lawsuits, controversies, and competition, Barbie remained distinct and really playable. Right now, Barbie already have forty pets including horses, a panda, cats and dogs, a zebra, and a lion cub. She owns a wide range of vehicles, including trailers, jeeps, and the trendy pink Corvette convertibles. Not to mention that she also holds a pilot’s license and operates commercial airliners aside from being a flight attendant.

Barbie has also a lot of friends which makes playing with her more fun. Friends of Barbie actually include African American Christie and her boyfriend Steven, Hispanic Teresa, and Midge. Barbie has also some siblings and cousins, Todd (twin brother of Tutti and Stacie), Tutti (twin sister of Todd), Stacie (Twin sister of Todd), Skipper, Kelly, Krissy, Francie, and Jazzie. Playing Barbie together with her siblings and cousins is actually a whole lot of fun.

Barbie also has a love life. In fact, she has an on-off romantic relationship with Ken Carson or simply Ken. Ken actually was released in 1961 and like Barbie has also been so popular. Both Barbie and Ken have fashionable lines of clothing as well accessories which kids really like.
