March 2009 New Specialty Toys — Bath

Combining a mesh porthole and quick-drying neoprene, this organizer protects kids' bath toys from mildew by allowing them to dry, and keeps them in an easy-to-reach, stylish location. It is available in orange and sky blue. Four suction cups on the back allow the bag to stay put on a tile or glass surface. The two hangers at the top may be used for placing scrubs or washcloths. The product is free of BPA and phthalates.

The adorable, washable, water-safe Scrub-A-Dub Doggies come in two styles: Cocker Spaniel and Dalmatian. The washable ears, matching bathrobe and squirter accessory will have children "begging" for bathtime. "Children can pretend what it would be like to give a real dog a bath, and afterward, can slide the lever from side to side to see the puppy shake the water off its head," Nicole Tiedemann, PR account executive for International Playthings, told TDmonthly. Launch date: February 15, 2009.

Suitable for ages 9 months and up, this automatic spout affixes to the bathtub and draws up an ongoing stream of water that causes a shower when it goes through the tumblers, turns a propeller, and brings a floating friend to the surface. The tumblers can be used alone or stacked for bathtime play.
