Education and Fun in the Bath
By Pola Rosen, Ed.D.
From ages three to nine, children will clamor for and enjoy
bath time with ArtFoams, a creative assortment of rubberized
shapes that stick to the tiles of a tub. One grouping, called
Creature Creator, allows children to make funny animals and
includes facial expression shapes like smiling mouths, big
eyes, pouting lips, crowns, flippers, buckets and many more,
all in brightly colored shapes. Children can make real as well
as fantasy creatures.
Another ArtFoam encourages children to create architecture
designing buildings and indeed, mini-cities on the walls of
the tub. My granddaughter, Emily, an intelligent and beautiful
7 and a half year old, became enamored of ArtFoams. Suddenly,
the bathroom has become a place for art creation and proud
display.
I rarely recommend toys in the pages of Education Update but
this one gets a ten out of ten.
