Will these soak up water and be good for water play during the summer? Are they lightweight enough with water for a young child?

When new they don't soak up that well, after some time they will. Yes light enough..I use them for same purpose

Water should work just fine. I would say they have a 4-6 month life with everyday use. Hope this helps.

My kids used these alot last summer. We did not have any trouble with them. Remember you have to use drinks with real sugar to slush.

Yes! They'd be quite suitable for outdoor play! Buy PLENTY !! I want to add to the set I bought my grandson; he loves them!

Yes, however they will take on water and the excess water will have to be squeezed out. To prevent bacterial growth, use a tablespoon or two of white distilled vinegar with a gallon of water for the washing solution, and be sure to squeeze as much water out after washing as possible. It is a GREAT toy and washing them will be necessary, but I found it to be easy!

I don't believe that these are designed to be filled with water, I do believe they would leak badly. They work perfectly if you put approx 40 pounds of play sand (available at Home Depot) into each bag--good luck!

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.

I think so. They are not made for the water but there are not stickers that would come off or anything that might be damaged from the water. I would just make sure to set them out to dry when you are finished with them.

In my experience, I wouldn't suggest this for a child so young. Look for a vest or suit that will keep them afloat or a ring that goes in the pool.

They are slightly heavier than some 6-oz glasses, and certainly heavier than plastic ones, but they are not what I would consider heavy. Also, the flat surfaces around the bottom half make them easier to grip. I guess it would depend on the size of the child. If not too young, the glasses should be fine.

My husband uses them to clean the yard on raw rainy days, so not real sure about submerging in water.

I don't think so...I suspect they'd just fill with water and make your little one's bottom float uncontrollably. They're not as well fitting (or mess containing) as something like a swim diaper.

Depends on child and if they fit his/her arms. My daughter is 30 years old with CP and they work for she loves the water. Still need to watch and keep a good eye on them.

We haven't used it for anything but imaginative play ( no real food so we haven't washed them ) so can't answer this question honestly ! If u are planing on using with water though , personally would go with their ceramic sets , equally as pretty .

I used these in a punch bowl w/blue punch as the water for a baby shower. They are pretty durable 2 yr old granddaughter plays with them 6 month old would probably put in their mouth I would just keep an eye out when they are playing with them

Honestly I'd say no, when you squeeze them the water would go inside and it'd be difficult to get it out. I'm sure Infantino have actual bath toys? Hope this helps! :)

They are about four inches tall, hard plastic throughout, somewhat movable. They are not hollow, so I think they'd be fine in water.
