Advantages: It's fun for your child to watch the water sprinkle out of it.

Disadvantages: You child may get bored of it quite easily.

These water wands are great bath toys for your children. You can buy them in the Early Learning Centre for £5.00 but at the moment they are reduced to £4.00. The age range they are suited for says 1-2 year old. But my daughters are 3 years old and they still play with them. The wand is roughly 19.5 cm in length and is made out of plastic. It doesn't have any small parts that can come off it so is safe.

The colours of the water wands vary, but are always bright and colourful. They are just the right size for your child to grip there hands round, so they can hold and play with them. To make the wand work all you need to do is pour water into the top end of the wand which has a few holes in then the water goes down the tube part of the wand which makes the bright coloured corkscrew spin and paddle wheel go round. Then the water sprinkles out the bottom as there are lots of holes which the water can come out of.

I think this toy is an ok bath toy as it helps with there coordination as they need to concentrate putting the water in the top. They will also enjoy watching and learning about how the water makes the parts go round. It also helps make bath time fun for your child. In away I can see why it says suited for 1-2 years olds as my daughter do still play with there's, but they get bored of it quite easily. I think this is because after a few times of letting the water flow down it there's not much else to see, whereas for a smaller child they will probably enjoy this more as they don't get bored so easily.

Summary: Overall is an ok bath toy.
