These Bath Bombs For Kids Have The Coolest Surprise Toys Inside

When stocking up on bathroom essentials for kiddos, bath bombs with toys inside deserve a spot on your shopping list next to the bubble bath and kid-friendly face wash. Bath toys exist to trick little kids into practicing good hygiene, and if your tub is overrun with toys (and bathtub toy storage), then you might need a new con to keep your kids soaking in the bathtub for a few extra minutes.

Enter bath bombs, which have been around since the late 1980s but exploded on the self-care scene in 2014. Adults love them because they create an effervescent bath experience by releasing bubbles and essential oils into the water. Kids love them for the exact same reason, but hiding a little toy inside is a game-changer. If the bath bomb is the fireworks show, the little toy inside is the grand finale.

So if your kid’s nightly bath ritual has become more of a chore, here are the best bath bombs with surprise toys to remind your kids that baths are one of the ultimate luxuries in life.

If a toddler in your life loves bath bombs, this gift set includes 12 scented bombs in a decorative tin and a mini farm scene, so the surprise animals have their own home.

One Reviewer Wrote: “I have a 3.5-year-old toddler and she absolutely loves these. She begs to take baths - I was up in the air prior to purchasing, but know she will throw a fit if we don’t have them on hand when it’s bath time. She gets so excited to see which animal is inside, and plays with all of them during her bath.”

These egg-shaped bath bombs are textured to look like real dino eggs and reveal an itty bitty dinosaur once the fizzing goes extinct. The scents range from rose oil to blueberry, and the formula doesn’t stain tubs (or skin).

One Reviewer Wrote: “What a way to have a fun bath time for the kiddos. These smell amazingly good. I liken them to the popular brand that is of a much higher price. I bought these for the grandkids but I may get some for myself as well. I would then have a dinosaur as a bonus.”

All packed up in a super cute sailing-themed gift box, the 12 bath bombs are made with essential oils and natural ingredients, so they’ll be gentle on sensitive skin.

One Reviewer Wrote: “I bought these for my son for Christmas. He ranked them as to which ones he would use first to his favorite, which would be last. He loved all the cute little figurines inside the bomb. They smelled great, and made really pretty swirls in the tub. I felt like they were good-quality bath bombs!”

With a formula that promises not to stain or leave an oil ring in the tub, this bath bomb gift set has surprise toy animals inside, from unicorns to frogs, promising to make bath time a splash.
