Lisa’s rocket post reminded me of a space toy that recently caught my eye. The accurately named, but somehow slightly dirty-sounding Squirters For the Tub set features five space-themed bath toys. Bathers as young as 18 months can shoot water from aliens, planets, space ships and stars as they explore the galaxy from the safety of sudsy tubs. Each piece is made of chunky, phthalate-free plastic. (Parents may want to consider some goggles while supervising.)
Available at Arsa Toys for $9.
