Kids are unpredictable, to say the least. And when you say, “It’s bath time!” you never know if they’ll squeal with excitement or hide under the coffee table.

To be sure your little ones come running, consider stocking up on some new bath toys at Earth Explorer Toys that will entice your kiddies to get into the bathtub and stay there long enough to get clean. Heck, you might even have to drag them out!

Shaving in the Tub: This shaving kit for kids comes with a 7-ounce can of foaming body soap, a plastic play razor, shaving brush, comb and an unbreakable, child-safe mirror. (Suitable for ages 3 and up. Made by Alex Toys.)

Rub a Dub Hoops in the Tub: Kids will have a blast with this mini basketball set for the tub. They’ll love tossing the colorful balls into the mesh basket and squirting water from the balls, too! The hoop easily attaches to the side of your tub with suction cups. (Suitable for ages 2 and up. Made by Alex Toys.)

Fashion in the Tub: This set comes with two dolls and more than 30 outfits. All of the pieces stick to the side of the tub when wet, allowing your child to dress the dolls with a range of combinations that only kids can come up with. (Suitable for ages 3 and up. Made by Alex Toys.)

Dirty Dishes: Washing dishes has never been so much fun. Dirty Dishes includes 10 colorful pieces (plates, cups and utensils) and a sponge. Everything fits nicely into a dish rack that adheres to the wall with suction cups. Simply dip the “dirty” dishes in warm water and watch the dirt disappear! (Suitable for ages 2 and up. Made by Alex Toys.)

Coast Guard Construction Water Blocks: These blocks stick together when wet, allowing your child to build a floating town with bridges and towers. The set comes with a Coast Guard boat and helicopter and can also be used in the pool! (Suitable for ages 4 and up. Made by Just Plane Fun.)

WaterBlocks Bath Blocks Ball Run: Stack these WaterBlocks on the floating play base in a variety of ways to create buildings, waterfalls and even a waterslide for the colorful ball that is included. Bath Blocks Ball Run includes 21 pieces and comes with a reusable storage bag that has a mesh bottom for drainage. (Suitable for ages 3 and up. Made by My Toy Smart.)

WaterBlocks Seaport Set: Build a seaport with this colorful 20-piece WaterBlocks set that also comes with a floating seaplane and helicopter. (Suitable for ages 4 and up. Made by My Toy Smart.)

Bath Time Tip! In a pinch, you probably have something around the house or in the kitchen you can use in the bath that will interest your child.

Try tiding the kids over with one of these options, until you have a chance to get to Earth Explorers and pick up one of the toys listed above.

• Fill the tub with bubbles and let your child use a clean plastic watering can to “water the garden.” They’ll love to watch the bubbles pop and will probably say, “Do it again!”
• Take a whisk, a small pot and maybe some measuring cups to the bathtub and let your child make some “soup.” They’ll love using the whisk to make bubbles, as well as using the measuring cups to scoop up and pour water into the pot!
