I have a 6 year old son and I'm looking for creative bathtub toys. Do these stick together when wet? Is my son too old for this? Thank you!

I don't know if they stick together when wet. I would think that he would enjoy them at 6 years old. My grandson was 5 and he really thought they were great to play with. I would think that they would stick onto the tub because they stick onto everything else.

Yes, they stick together and also to smooth surfaces. It seems that people of all ages can enjoy the Squigz pieces.

I haven't tested Squigz wet, but I would imagine they would work. I don't think your son is too old. Even as an adult, I find them enjoyable to fidget with. My son, who is almost 5, likes to make them into shapes he pretends are spaceships or whatever. But we use ours as a car toy for long trips, so they are a novelty whenever I bring them out. They don't get play on a regular basis.

we just started using these in the bath tub on a whim this week and my daughter LOVES them! She's almost four, but her 8 month old brother also loves the pip squigs. Definitely a great toy that would hold up for bath.

Yes they stick together when wet and stick to the tub. No he is not to old for these! I bought these as a gift for my friend's twin 6 year olds. She said they will not put them down; they play with them in the bath, put them on windows, they were a big hit. I got them first to check them out and they were so much fun I didn't want to send them. And I wouldn't say I'm old but your 6 year old would!� get them, they are awesome.

Yes, they do stick together when wet, and they are perfect for your son age, I bought them for my special needs child.

They would and yeah they are pretty entertaining for all ages. Everyone looked at it weird at first at my daughter's 5th bday only to end up playing with the pieces themselves.

We use these almost exclusively as bath toys (they are great in the water because there are no holes or small cracks for water to get into and cause mildew) they stick to each other and the tub walls just as well wet or dry. My 4.5 yr old and 17 month old LOVE them. I have to admit I enjoy playing with them as well.

Yes I think they would be great for the kids swimming pool or bathtub! I know my great granddaughter loves them!!

Sorry but these crayons were for my granddaughter and I doubt she has used them in the bathtub, sorry I couldn't have been more help.

If tub is slick, it should stick, but suction cups are best if you are pulling up on them not to the side. If you use them, you should check they still have good suction before putting weight on them. If you use them on a wall make sure the wall will not pull loose. They make some grippers that have little green spots or red to tell you they are gripping or not. They make clamps that clamp over the side of the tub and are very stable.

My son started using them before he was one. We started putting toys in the bath when he could sit up on his own & he loved the foam stuff.

My six year old with bathtub experience informs me, the kids sink, the grown-ups and the boat float, and the small things sink. She doesn't recommend playing with it in a lake. The bathtub is perfect.

I'm sure they could both fit in the tub together. The only issue I'd see depends on how high you like the water level for your older child...this bath pad doesn't float, really, and it takes maybe 3-4" in our tub then the water is around our son's ears. I know some people put more water in the tub for their older kids.

If these are made like the magic erasers....my son made the mistake of leaving one of them in a bucket of water for quite a while. After that it separated like you are describing. So I would assume that it was from being too wet for too long.

Yes, the chacters float on the water to make it easy for the child to catch. This was one of my grandsons go-to bath toys. We also put foam letters or numbers in the water and caught those too. Lots of fun to be had with this set.

They are not they are only about 1/4" thick and they stick (when wet) to the side of the bathtub. My twins (age 2) LOVE these things. I can't get them out of the bathtub when they are finding letter and numbers. It is like bath and learning all in one!

I agree with the others. It is very easy to move around as it does not include any suction cups or anything else to adhere to the tub. It expands and closes similar to an accordion to fit your tub. I usually extend it so that it doesn't move around too much when the kids are bathing so it stays in position for the most part and when I shower I usually shorten it and just move it to the front of the tub (inside) so that the water that has not dried does not get onto the floor. It was irritating at first, something that I had not considered before but worth it to not step on random objects and toys once I got into the shower and we didn't want to crowd our shower walls with the hanging basket type...

I gave it to my 14 month old grandchild. His older sisters (ages 3 and 4.5) love it. The ramp doesn't attach, or at least, I can't figure it out, so the children play with it without the ramp. It isn't a poor choice of a toy for the bathtub.

The toys do have many holes, but they are not the squirting bath toys you may be thinking of. The holes are about dime sized so water immediately drains from them. They don't retain any water.

All of my boys play with them. Mine are 3, 8, 11 and hubby is 34. They had a blast with their water war.

I'd say until like 1 year old. I found by the time my son was older he just wanted to be in the big tub without this bath because it was easier to splash and play better. Side bar I didn't love this tub because it doesn't hold water. Then you have to fill the tub so full to get enough water to pool in the little tub. I used an inflatable one instead so he could splash more and just used this when traveling and needed something safe for him to sit in for a quick bath.

These are of good quality to be kid's toys. My daughter had her set 8 months, and no rust. Maybe if they're submerged in water, they'd probably rust. But I would never do that. Wipe with a damp cloth to clean them.

I have purchased a few of these bath tubs as baby gifts and have not actually used them myself, but I would think that they are not deep enough to give a toddler a bath sitting up. The new parents who I gave these tubs to loved them for their babies; they can be used in the bathtub until the baby is old enough to sit up on their own; probably can be used until 9-12 months old.
