This Balloon Boat is perfect for bath-time. A wonderful alternative to plastic bathtub toys, the durable and solid design of the Balloon Boat means it will keep on floating and is ready for years of play.
So simple to use, just blow the balloon up through the exhaust jet at the back of the boat. Block the exhaust jet with your finger, put the boat in the water and watch it zip across the water like a jet boat!
Comes with a post to attach a bowline to secure the boat (or to pull it back from the far end of the tub or pull it back to you if you are playing in open water)
Want a different balloon colour, shape or size, no problem. You can replace the included balloon with any balloon with a standard-sized opening. It's fun to see how far the boat will go with different sizes of balloons.
The Balloon Boat comes in unfinished wood with no paint, stains or toxic finish. Just leave it to dry on the side of the tub when bath time is done.
Appropriate for children aged 3 and up
