Description
This colour changing counting book is made to go into the bath rather than stay on the shelf beside it. Each page is soft, squishy sponge with a smooth waterproof PEVA covering, so little hands can squeeze, splash and turn it as much as they like. The navy cover carries the words Bath Time and Count and Play above a cheerful elephant in a yellow spotted shower cap, lounging in a tub of pink bubbles. Inside, every page is numbered and filled with animals enjoying their own bath, from a pair of giraffes to flamingos and pigs. Dip a page in the water and the pale scenes fill with colour.
It belongs in the family bathroom, tucked into the bath toy basket. The large numbers on the pages give you an easy way to count along together, one elephant, two giraffes and onwards, so a few minutes in the tub become a gentle first counting game. The arched shape has a handle cut through the top of every page, easy for small fingers to grip and simple for you to carry or hang on a hook. Because the pages change colour in the water, there is always a little surprise waiting, which helps make bath time a part of the day to look forward to.
It measures 18.2cm long, 13.5cm wide and 2.4cm thick, and at 0.035KG it is light enough for the smallest bather to hold. The pages meet at a ribbed spine and open out into a zigzag that can stand up on its own. After a soak, rinse it in clean water, shake off the drips and leave it open somewhere airy to dry fully before it goes back in the basket; a wipe with a damp cloth keeps the covering fresh. We like it tucked into a hooded towel with a bottle of bubble bath for a cosy present.
