Nûby Review: Splash n' Catch Bathtime Fishing Set

Today I'm reviewing Nûby's Splash n' Catch Bathtime Fishing Set.  I was so excited to receive this as our little one loves "catching" everything in a net lately.  In fact, one of her favorite things to do is throw the mesh bag for her blocks (which is pretty small) on top of our black lab's back and shriek with delight that she captured her, it's pretty adorable.  | This post contains affiliate links and an honest review of products provided to us by Nûby |

The Splash n' Catch is recommended for ages 18+ months and comes with a fishing net and four colorful sea animals that can be linked together.  It's BPA-free and, according to Nûby also PVC-free, which is very important to us.  Miss M loves catching the animals and taking them in and out of the net.  She's also been playing with this toy out of the tub and has been enjoying putting all kinds of things into the net - small blocks, her snacks, a shoe, etc.  

This toy is great for developing hand-eye coordination and teaching your little one some colors.  The one small flaw of this toy that we found is our little one can't link and unlink the animals together on her own, but maybe with time she will be able to.  

The Splash n' Catch Fishing Set would also be a great toy to bring outside and use in the kiddie pool or water table and I know we'll definitely be bringing it outside this summer.  

Miss M loved putting her other bath toys in the net too (pictured are Nûby's Bath Letters and Numbers).

Nûby Review: Bath Letters and Numbers + GIVEAWAY!

Today I'm reviewing Nûby's Bath Letters and Numbers - and to top it off we're giving away a set of these over on Instagram (details below)!  | This post contains affiliate links and an honest review of products provided to us by Nuby |

I was so excited when we received these Bath Letters and Number to review from Nûby.  I was looking for something a little different than the boats and rubber animals Miss M has now and I thought these foam letters would be a nice change of pace.  

These bath letters are phthalate and BPA free which is very important to us, and are recommended for ages 18+ months.  Right now Maddie just loves the colors and shapes of them but as she gets older these will be a great tool to teach numbers and letters.  They stick remarkably well to the wall of the tub when wet, and our little one had a lot of fun moving them around and taking them on and off. 

I initially had some reservations that these would stay wet for a long time and get yucky in storage but that wasn't the case at all - the foam dries remarkably fast and holding moisture isn't an issue.  Overall these are a simple, fun toy for in and out of the tub.  

*GIVEAWAY*

Nûby Review: No-Spill Insulated Cool Sipper

The last few days have been hot in New England and it (finally) feels like spring.  Even the last bit of snowbank in our yard has finally melted too - hooray!  I thought a warm day like today would be a great time to review our Nûby No-Spill Insulated Cool Sipper Cup.  | This post contains affiliate links and an honest review of products provided by Nûby |

This cup is a Step 4 training cup and is recommended for ages 18-months+.  Maddie is almost 17 months old and I think for most toddlers you could introduce this cup to them a little early if they seem ready.  Maddie has always been a bit behind in her oral development and so it took her a little longer than I think it would for most kids to get the hang of how to tip the cup up and sip through the spout, but she did it.  I can certainly see how this cup helps transition little ones to drink from an open cup.  

The cup has an insulated base which helped keep Miss M's water cold while we were drawing with chalk out on the hot pavement.  It has a soft silicone spout and is BPA-free which is very important to us.  I really liked that the cup only has three parts (cup, spout, and threaded top), which is so much easier to clean than the straw cups with a million parts that Maddie is currently using.  I'd say the only improvement that could make it easier to clean would be to make it dishwasher safe.

Nûby Review: Octopus Floating Bath Toy

This is my first Nûby review and I am so excited to be a part of their Parent Blogger Network!  Maddie has been a huge fan of their sippy cups from the beginning, and for the longest time their Flip 'N Sip Straw Cup was the only kind she'd use.  They've sent me a few products to try and share with you, the first of which is their Octopus Floating Bath Toy.   

This little floating octopus comes with 3 fun-shaped rings to "toss" on his arms in the bath, and while the rings are too small to actually toss them on successfully it is a great toy to work on hand-eye coordination with.  Our little one loved taking the rings on and off repeatedly.  

The bright, fun colors and shapes of the octopus were also a big hit; Maddie was particularly drawn to his big googly-looking eyes.  In fact, when she was playing with it she pointed to his eye, looked at me, and said "eyeee" - the first time she's ever done that!  

One thing I loved about the design of this toy was that it didn't have a hole in the bottom, as most bath toys do.  Bath toys with a hole tend to hold moisture inside and grow mold so it's great that this one was fully enclosed.  

The one thing that really disappointed me about this toy though was that it's made out of PVC, a material that we consciously try to limit in our house - in fact we go as far as to only buy PVC-free shower curtains.  I didn't realize that it was made out of PVC until after her bath.  It's really unfortunate because Maddie loved the Octopus but the material is something we choose not to use.
