Full details
The Early Learning Centre Squirting Buddies are designed for toddlers and young children who enjoy interactive sensory play during bath time. These five squishy animal characters provide a fun, tactile experience that helps improve fine motor skills and hand-to-eye coordination through simple water-squirting action. While these toys are excellent for fostering imaginative play, parents should note that squirt toys can develop internal mold if not thoroughly drained and dried after each use.

Troubleshooting

Hold the toy with the hole facing downward and squeeze repeatedly until all internal water is expelled.
