WHAT IS IT?

A set of 4 rubber ducks for the bath.  

WHAT I THINK

I bought these ducks about 3 years ago and paid £5 for them, I thought that was good for 4 ducks and makes them £1.25 each.  I was surprised at how small they are because the photograph on the Mothercare website makes them look a lot bigger.  The ducks are only about 7cm high and that is not very big and they get lost in the bubbles when my daughters have a bath.  They are made of rubber and in the set you get blue, red, yellow and green ducks.  They feel quite heavy for the small size of them and make a big splash when they are thrown in the water.

They do not float properly and tip either on their sides or completely upside down.  This was very frustrating for my daughter because she has always liked ducks and I bought these special for her to play with in the bath, she spent a lot of time trying to float them upright but it's like their heads are too big because they tip over as soon as they go into the bath water.  Three of them also developed black mold inside even though I washed and dried them thoroughly after my daughter had played with them in the bath. I could not get rid of this mold so have thrown 3 of the ducks away in the last year and my daughter has only got the blue one now.  I would have thought better of Mothercare than this and am glad I didn't pay more for them, the remaining blue duck does not go into the bath anymore and I keep it as an ornament on the bathroom shelf.

When you have got the full set they look bright and colourful together and I wish I had put them on display as soon as I realised they didn't float properly because they have been a bit of a waste.  They have not been very good as ducks for the bath and other ones I have bought since have worked a lot better for my daughter and I have been happy to buy her others even though they have been more expensive.  

ANYTHING ELSE

When I bought these ducks they were £5 but they are half this price now.  I still do not suggest you buy them though because they do not do what they are supposed to and that black mold was a worry to me.  They are available only in Mothercare.
