Review & Giveaway: B Kids Shape ‘n Slide Pals

Blue Box Toys is an award-winning toy company celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. They recently introduced the B Kids line, designed specifically for newborns, infants and toddlers. Their goal was to turn tub time into fun time with a collection of bath toys, like the Ducky Spout and the Wacky Wand.


I was sent one of the Shape ‘n Slide Pals to review. This little dude is shaped like a turtle, and it's a two in one toy: kids can play with the shape sorter and a few small blocks, or the sliding rattle. Geared for ages 12 months and up, it encourages hand to eye coordination, color learning and shape sorting. It's really cute in person:


To be honest, I was a little worried when it arrived that my daughter might think it was too baby, but she actually asked to take a bath so she could play with it, so I guess I didn't need to worry. lol The shape sorting pieces float. By the way, this is one of those toys that they don't actually have to play with in the tub if you're avoiding bigger toys in there. (For us, it's anything goes as long as it's waterproof-ish lol)

The BKids Shape ‘n Slide Pals has a suggested retail price of $13.99. You can find it at places like Amazon, although the price there is a little higher. You can find BKids on Facebook or follow them on Twitter for sales and new product announcements.
