Advantages: Improves hand eye co-ordination when tipping water in.

Disadvantages: Flimsy and fiddly

This water slide toy seemed like a great toy with potential but instead was a huge waste of money and a real let down for both my little one and I.

My little girl loves her bath like most her age and I thought she might get pleasure out of a couple of new toys so I visited the ELC store thinking that all their stuff would be great but .... oh no!

The toy was simple enough to put together but lacked any real sturdiness. Two year olds are not kind to their toys and bath toys are no different so it soon started to fall apart. Although I kept clicking it back together it soon fell apart again. The yellow finish line flag in particular was constantly falling off, so much that I chucked it, to avoid frustration.

The little 'bath time friends' constantly got stuck on the slide, much to my little ones dismay and is tricky to fish them out when you have adult sized hands. The suction cups are fine, but if your bath has a slight tilt on it, results in 'the friends' unable go round the slide.

The little mill was the best part of the toy, but only gives 30 seconds or so of interest before boredom kicks in.

Over all, a frustrating over priced waste of space in my now over-crowed bathroom.

We have much more fun with a 50p bubble wand ... oh and of course her rubber duckies!

Summary: Not worth the money, buy bubbles for more fun
