Bath time: Munchkin bath toys

Bath time in the Cawood house is all about fun (and of course getting clean!). We  were offered a range of toys from the Munckin range to try out, and the boys loved them!

 These Munchkin bath dunkers provided much fun and lots of laughter. Easily attached to tiles with suction cups you basically have bath basketball. The kids found this great fun and I was impressed with the ability to close the net afterwards via drawstring so that I could store the balls which come in the form of very cute coloured creatures.

Next up were these glowing Disco Lights Bath Tub Toys. These cute shapes that come in assorted designs literally light up and kept both boys occupied, searching under the bubbles for them. Again suction cups meant they could be attached to the side of the bath. I store ours in the bath dunker hoop.

The Munchkin Alphabet shapes were another big hit. The 17m old loved the colours, shapes and textures and spent ages handling them, and the eldest (5yr old), well as you can see, he thoroughly enjoyed sticking them to the tiles and spelling out words.

Last but not least we have the Munchkin Heat Sensing Bath Grippy Dots. The name says it all really, they change colour to alert the parent if the water is too hot and provide a valuable and attractive safety feature to reduce the risk of slipping in the bath.

In truth I hadn’t heard of the Munchkin range before it was sent out to me and further investigation on Kiddicare, one of my favourite sites for all things kid-related shows not just these items but a huge range of fun and useful products that can make family life easier.

Overall, the kids and the parents give this range a 9/10.

Bath time: Vosene anti dandruff

Recently a surprise package of Vosene shampoo arrived for us to use. I’m quite a big fan of Vosene, having been given and promptly getting hooked on their Kid’s shampoo with headlice repellant (Kieran has yet to *touch wood* catch headlice despite many in his class having suffered so I would say it does the job!).
These new shampoos are anti dandruff, and I received an anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner, anti dandruff for sensitive scalps and medicated anti-dandruff.

First up…. the medicated shampoo does not smell like the one with the same name that we used when we were kids. This still does the job but is less pungent. Roy liked this one and promptly nabbed the bottle.

The sensitive scalp one I used on the kids. Kieran has no dandruff but it is a perfectly good shampoo of it’s own accord and really is “good for all the family” as the label suggests. Taylor still gets a little cradle cap from time to time and this worked wonders at clearing it and not irritating his easily irritated skin.

The anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner I used for me. With my crazy curly hair I have to use a fair amount of product to keep it under control. This leads to build up and sometime a dry scalp. This shampoo cleared it right up and I found I didn’t need to use a separate conditioner, as I often do despite shampoos being two in one, as it was more than adequate as it was.

So – the Vosene has been thoroughly tested and we give the anti-dandruff range a 10/10 rating. We can’t fault it and would recommend it to anyone happily.
