The 11 Best Bath Bombs For Kids to Make Bathtime Fun & Easy (ish)

Nearly 19,000 customers have given the INTEYE bath bombs gift set the five-star stamp of approval. They’re made with essential oils, shea and cocoa butters, and coconut oil and come in bright colors kids will enjoy. They don’t contain surprise toys, so this might be a good option for older kids who probably have other bath toys to go with this fizzy fun. And it’s worth noting you get 24 bombs in this set — that’s quite a bit more than most sets on this list.

Helpful review: “My wife made the mistake of buying a fancy bath bomb and popped one into the tub with my toddler who went crazy for it! He calls them bath surprises and now gets really sad if we don't put one in the tub. As much as I love him I wasn't going to spend seven bucks every time he took a bath. Then I found these. Perfect. They work great, color the water, smell great and he loves the fizz and they do not break the bank by a long shot. Thanks for an affordable answer!”

If you have a kiddo who loves dinosaurs, they will absolutely love the Staryar organic dinosaur bath bombs. Your little one has likely played with one of those dinosaur egg digging toys where kids excavate an artificial dinosaur egg and leave behind a big old mess. Now your kid can have the same satisfaction in the bath. As the colorful bath bomb egg dissolves, a dinosaur toy is revealed. Each egg is infused with shea butter and essential oils. This set of nine also comes with learning cards and temporary tattoos.

Helpful review: “I’ve bought a few other bath bombs for my grandson, but these bath bombs are by far the best I’ve ever bought. The colors are really good, the dinosaurs inside the bath bombs are not tiny and hard, these dinosaurs are soft and big and the bath bombs soften the water. My grandson is 3 years old and he loves taking a bath at Nana’s house because I try to keep them around.”

Helpful review: “I don’t usually write reviews but I was so pleased with this product that I had to share! My daughter has lots of allergies and eczema and for so long we kept bath bombs from her, but our eldest daughter got to use them from time to time and she always looked envious. After finding these for a little Valentines’s Day gift, she is having zero adverse reaction as far as allergies and eczema, but more than that she’s having a blast being included in the fizzy bath time fun! I love that we get to support this business as well. We will purchase again!”
