This set is such a great idea for kids! It's not very expensive, and my daughters get both imaginative play and creative play by playing with it as a bathtub dollhouse AND as a building blocks sort of set!I really like the versatility of the castle blocks. There are several different configurations the kids can use. I do wish there were more peices though! My girls love building it up, but with the two of them, there are just not enough peices to go around. I tried using the little foam word tiles we already own as additional "blocks" for the set, but they are not as chunky or sturdy as the blocks in this set. The peices in this set really stand up well. They are thick and firm, so it's easy for my 3 and 4 year old daughters to build with them (but not so much with the thin letter/word tiles we had from the other tub toy set).These blocks are also pretty awesome since all of the peices can both float and stick to the wall of the tub. I wasn't sure how sturdy the set could be, but it is quite durable! I feared my girls might get frustrated by peices not staying in place or knocking over too easily, but that isn't an issue at all. When wet, the tiles stick to one another or the tub walls with a pretty strong bond.On a final note, more people/figures would have also made this set even better; however, my girls easily solved that problem by supplementing with Disney and SpongeBob figurines! The stability of the castle peices can easily support the weight of a few of those little 1 1/2 inch figurines that my girls seem to have an abundance of for some reason. Read more

My husband brought the BathBlocks Coast Guard set home after a trip to the USMMA last spring. My 6yo son and 3yo daughter loved it at once, so much so that we ended up ordering the BathBlocks Floating Castle for our daughter for her birthday, and are looking at the BathBlocks airport for our son's upcoming birthday. The pieces float, so they are easy to find in the water. They also stick together well, meaning their creations don't fall apart - until they get too tall or off-balance to float and then they tip (a great science/engineering lesson for little builders). The blocks will stick to the wall of the tub and the shower as well, providing a number of fun building opportunities. The pieces from the various sets can be used together for bigger construction projects. Out of the tub, the blocks can be stacked and played with, too. My kids will sometimes dry them off and play with them on the floor. My daughter also likes to use the BathBlocks people with some of her other toys. Their a nice size for her to hold, and they stand on their own. From a mom's perspective, I appreciate that they are easy to clean. Just give them a little scrub in clean water if they start to look soap scummy and they're as good as new again. Read more

My 7 year old still loves bath toys. I wanted to get her something that wouldn't mold or become gross and that she would still play with. This item is great! She loves that she can build the castle however she wants, that it can float and that she can stick it to the walls. She has had it for about 2 months now and it is not gross/slimey. Hasn't gotten mold or anything. It's really good for the price. Read more

This is one of the best kid purchases I've made in recent months - was a huge hit with my 4 year old! She uses this in and out of the bath. There are many ways to configure the castle which is fun. And you don't have to use just the 5 foam characters that were included - she uses other small figures we already have at home. Also, it doesn't smell of chemicals at all - which worried me a little when ordering a foam block toy. It also dries super fast after a bath (or pool). Super happy with this purchase, already purchased another since for a gift. Read more

My daughter loves this. We build castles on the wall, side of the tub, & in the floating water. All the pieces are sturdy & bright colored as well as maintaining their color. Im going to buy 2 more as Christmas gifts for her friends. Definitely a great bath toy for a toddler girl. Read more

This was a perfect gift for our 3 year old daughter...loves bath time and princesses!! Read more

Bought this for my 3 year old and she absolutely loves them!! I was looking for a new bath tub toy for her that doesn't get all moldy....it seems that they will remain mold free as they are not porous. The large platform floats really nicely and she can easily build her castles for the prince and princess! Read more

My 3 year old has dislikes being in the water and slowly building bath time to be positive took some creativity. The floating princess castle was a turn around toy for bath time play. Drys easily and sticks well. Read more
