Bathing with Boon

Boon "Innovations for modern parents". What a great little company. Boon designs and produces many fabulous things for kids from uber-modern high chairs, utensils and great non-toxic tub toys! These toys are free of PVC, BPA and Phthalates they are also super-fun & creative. Take a look.


Scrubbles Kids can practice scrubbing in the tub with this set of three interchangeable bulbs and textured attachments. For fun, fill the bulb with water and squeeze it out. The toys are easy to keep clean, just unscrew the parts—and they can even go in the dishwasher.


Water Bugs Kids can scoop up these colorful critters as they glide across the water. Set includes three floating bugs and a mesh net.


Splat Make bath time fun with this floating ring toss game. Includes one floating post and three colorful rings.

Drinking Vessles

There are many sippy cups on the market. Most are plastic- some are noted as BPA free but in the end I really don't trust plastic. So I set out to find the ultimate sippy cup and came up with a few nice options.

My favorite was The Safe Sippy. Not only does it have a food grade stainless steel interior. Here are a few of the reasons I really like this cup: It has easy grip handles for baby but they can be removed for toddler use, a rubber sleeve, the spout is straw shaped (better for speech development), the internal flow stopper is made of food grade silicone and all plastic components are BPA and toxin free.


I received a Boon Sippy as a gift. Yes it is plastic but I must say I do like it. This sippy cup is BPA/Phalate/PVC free, fun, small, light, and easy for a wee-baby to hold and use. The stainless steel options are just a little too heavy and cumbersome for the smallest babies to operate. The Boon Sippy is a great starter. Our little guy was operating the Boon on his own at 6 months old.


I also like the Foogoo by Thermos. This cup is stainless steel, toxin free and doubles as a thermos- keeping it's contents cool much longer than any other sippy. What I don't like is the large flat drinking spout. As mentioned earlier the straw shape is better for speech development- but that's the only draw-back.
