A geat bath toy, really packs in the fun, 22 May 2008

I always wonder why there are so few bath toys on the market. Boats are a staple of the bath-time fun but this is probably the best one I've come across. The boat has two people, a dolphin, and a removable diving platform. The boat flips open to reveal a lower deck with a fishing area. The diving platform can sit in this, although my children usually have it on the side of the bath. The platform is great, you place on of the people on it, push a satisfying little button and the figure dives brilliantly. A lot of these sort of toys just don't live up to expectations (remember the "diving" man from the old Mousetrap game - did anyone ever get him to dive successfully?). The boat also doubles as a jug which pours water from a spout at the prow.

With the wealth of detail to explore it keeps my 2 year old entertained. The combination of characters and sticker pictures on the boat gives my 4 year old plenty of scope for his imagination to build narratives with.

A great...

Years of bathtime fun!, 24 Sept. 2010

We got Danny's Diving Adventure for our daughter to liven up bath time and I'm so glad we did! She absolutely loves it, so much in fact that she wants to have it in bed with her alongside some of her other cuddly toys, a request that we have so far resisted!

WOWtoys have done a fantastic job of taking a fairly simple concept - a toy boat for the bath - and turning it into a multi-faceted toy that she can play with for hours and hours both in and out of the bath...there's so much for her to do, so many different features for her to discover. She can open up the deck and peer inside, slosh water out of the mouth, make the "little men" (in fact one of them is a woman) leap from their diving platform, make the divers and the dolphin swim around the boat...seeing her come up with so many different "little games" herself is truly remarkable...

Loads of toys these days are tacky and made from cheap plastics - you know that they're only going to last for a short-time...

Good for eczema sufferers, 15 Nov. 2008

My (nearly) 3 yr old suffers from eczema so we have to use bath emollient. The problem there is that all bath toys end up with a layer of gunk on that grows mold. This boat set has proved itself (a) great fun to play with and (b) easy to clean. I don't know what the decals were put on with but I've disinfected this boat in a bucket of Milton's sterilizing solution several times now and they are still as good as new. Happy mummy, happy 3 year old. Excellent toy.
