Rub A Dub Dub...Bath Time just became more fun! The Stack N Stream Tub Fountain is a captivating water jet fountain for bath time play. The base attaches to the bottom of the tub drawing water up through the center and creating a magical foundation. As your little one stacks the boats and characters up on the base water will flow through each one and out the top. Change the figures on top for different effects: red boat spins as it sprays blue boat has a swiveling propeller octopus sprouts in all directions and the scuba pal grows hair as he squirts water from his mouth. The figures are shaped for interchangeable stacking and your child who will have no trouble turning the fountain off and on by themselves. 3 AA Batteries required.

Major Bath-Time Fun
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R33NCOFGMD8IIC The Yookidoo is great bath time fun - better yet kids of all ages will love it (well up to a point). The concept of the Yookidoo fountain is pretty basic it has an opening at the bottom with a small pump. The pump circulates the water to the top and fountain is put into motion (it will make more sense once you see the video). Our daughter loves playing with her Yookidoo even if it is mainly to try to find ways to drink the water!
Things we like -
- It is very quiet - if it wasn't for the falling water you wouldn't even know it was on
- A variety of cups to catch the water (see the video)
- Suction cups work great for attaching to the bath tub.
- Seems to be high quality (so far) we have used it daily for about 1 month.
Areas for improvement
- It is a minor complaint but it might be nice if it was a little bigger
Final Verdict- I can't imagine any child that wouldn't enjoy the Yookidoo fountain. You can buy this with confidence.

Bath ToysMy 18 month old loves playing with these bath toys during his bath each evening! It comes with a great storage bag too! He loves the bright colors and it's very easy to get the water out of the toys after bathtime.

Fun even out of the bath but watch your preschooler
My son is almost 3 and he LOVES these flutes (he calls them "whistles").
SOUND: Honestly the sound is not as annoying as the average recorder or whistle (though the higher pitches become correspondingly well shriller).
HOW THEY WORK: The note each of these instruments plays is based on how much water is in the flute which means that if you're doing this with a three year old you need to help them carefully fill these flutes to the right level (and you're probably not going to be playing the included songs right away). I think this is actually great educational value--practice letters with little kids talk about the relationship between the water level and the sound as the child gets older including scales etc.) but if you're hoping your kid is going to play ("properly") with this toy on his or her own at 3 or 4 you might be disappointed.
PROBLEM--DRINKING THE BATH WATER: I would actually suggest parents with younger children consider playing with these outside of the bathtub (maybe with a deep bowl of water for filling the flutes?). I say this because if your kid tips the flute back (that is instead of holding it in "recorder" position he chooses "trumpet" position) water will pour into his mouth. Since the bath water is not the cleanest I'm not thrilled about that. Ditto if you're thinking of using them in a pool. Obviously it's good to teach your kids the proper way to hold these instruments but still preschool age kids are always going to be tipping them back some of the time even by accident.
Anyway in short I think these are really fun toys and I'll definitely be buying them for friends!
