Full details
The Gruffalo Foam Bath Figures are designed for toddlers and young children who enjoy interactive sensory play during bath time. These 18 soft foam pieces provide a creative way for kids to engage with the beloved storybook characters, building storytelling skills and fine motor coordination while they get clean. While these toys excel at imaginative engagement, parents should note that the pieces require a smooth, non-porous surface to stick effectively and need consistent drying to prevent mildew build-up in moist bathroom environments.

FAQs
Are these toys safe for infants?
The Gruffalo Foam Bath Figures are generally intended for toddlers who are past the stage of putting small items in their mouths, as the foam could be a choking hazard if bitten off.
Do the pieces work on all types of bathtub surfaces?
They adhere best to glossy, smooth tiles or acrylic tub surfaces. They will not stick well to textured, porous, or stone-like surfaces.
Can the figures be washed in a dishwasher?
It is not recommended. Hand washing with mild soap and rinsing under cold water is the best way to maintain the integrity of the foam.
What happens if a piece gets a small tear?
While the foam is durable, it is best to remove any loose or torn fragments to prevent the child from ingesting them.
How many characters are included in the set?
The set includes 18 pieces in total, allowing you to build characters like The Gruffalo, Mouse, Fox, Owl, and Snake, among others.
Troubleshooting
Foam pieces will not stick to the tile.
Ensure the tile surface is wet and free of soap scum or oil buildup. Check if your tiles have a textured surface, as smooth tiles work best.
Mold or mildew spots appearing on the foam.
Ensure the pieces are rinsed thoroughly after use and stored in the mesh bag in a location with good airflow to allow complete drying.
