Bath Bombs with Toys Inside: How They Work and How to Use Them
Share
There's nothing quite like the excitement of waiting to see what's hiding inside a bath bomb. Here's how our children's bath bombs with toys inside work, and how to use them for the best bath time ever. Our bath bombs are made by The Bean People and sold in New Zealand by Bath Buddies.
Are bath bombs with toys inside suitable for my child?
They're made for kids aged 3 and up, because of the size of the sponge toys. Always keep an eye on little ones in the bath. Older kids love them too, especially collecting all the different toys.
Sprudels: fizz, then surprise!
Drop a Kids Bath Bomb Sprudel into a warm bath and watch it fizz and colour the water. When the fizzing stops, a sponge toy appears! Every Kids Bath Bomb Sprudel has one sponge toy inside, and there are over 50 different shapes to collect, with over 80 shapes across the whole range.
The shapes are randomised, so every Sprudel is a surprise. In a 6 Pack, no two toys are the same. Dino lovers can try our Dino Egg Sprudels, each with a sponge dinosaur hiding inside.
Egg and Jumbo Sprudels: colour mixing magic
Our Egg and Jumbo Sprudels have two colours in or on each bath bomb. Watch it fizz, then swirl the two colours together to discover a third! It's a fun way to learn about colour mixing in the bath.
Bath Beans: watch the toys grow
Bath Beans don't fizz. Instead, drop a Bean into a warm bath and watch as the Bean dissolves and sponge toys magically 'grow' out of it. Each Bean usually has two sponge characters inside, and the shapes are shown on the pack, so you can choose your favourite theme, from dinosaurs to sea creatures. Shop Bath Beans sponge toys, or compare bath bombs or Bath Beans.
How to use kids bath bombs
- Fill the bath with warm water.
- Drop in a Sprudel or Bath Bean.
- Watch it fizz (Sprudels) or dissolve (Bath Beans) until the toy appears.
- Take the toy out, rinse it and let it dry.
- Keep it to play with again in or out of the bath. You can even use the sponges as paint stamps for a fun craft afternoon!
They work in cooler water too, but Bath Beans take a little longer for the toys to appear. The colours won't stain your bath; simply rinse it with fresh water afterwards.
Made by hand
Every sponge toy is cut, dyed, squished, twisted and placed into its capsule by hand in Cape Town, South Africa by The Bean People.
Safe bath time fun
Our bath bombs are CE marked and tested to the toy safety standards EN71, ISO 8124 (Global, including New Zealand and Australia) and ASTM F963-23 (USA). They're suitable for children aged 3 and over, due to the size of the sponge toys inside. Children should always be supervised in the bath.
