Along these lines, what is your favorite bath toy for a 2 y.o.? We have the Sassy car wash and Alex crayons and Alex finger paints but I am ready for something new.

I just saw a report…I the day after I wrote this post that crocs are in trouble and may be one of those fleeting trends that marks a generation. Remember Earth shoes?

we’ve also found, that even though Malka LOVES her rubber ducky squirty toys, and even though I wash them REALLY well, they get algae stuff inside – and it sometimes squirts out! ACK!

And Ewwwww.

So we tend to avoid them as well.

But LOVE the crocs for the doll!

Tara–if you’re right about the cars and kitchen we’ll have to revised our reviews…which were done several years ago. Thank you for the catch. It is a problem–and we had one Mom who had suggested using bleach to get them really clean…also not a great idea for products that go into kids mouths.

But you recommended the Sassy Car Wash (which we have, on your recommendation) and the Sassy Kitchen — both have squirters! And don’t the Smart Splash toys squirt or at least hold water? I agree that it’s a problem, but it seems to be very widespread.

Even my thinking is along the same lines that squirters should really be washed out and made really empty and completely dry. If this is not done it causes a problem of maintaining proper hygene.
