The interactive, educational bath toy encourages gross motor skills through water play while teaching the principles of action and reaction in a fun way. The colorful bandana hat is used as a scoop to pour water into the head of the Octobuddy. This action triggers visually exciting activity housed in clear, bubble-like chambers in Octobuddy’s four legs: spinning wheels, a whimsical character popping up and a fish feeding. The floating Octobuddy features “innovative design from two of the brightest toy designers out of Israel, assisted by the most critical focus group — their own children,” Jonathan Rimington of Boogaloo PR & Advertising told TDmonthly. Launch date: February 2007.

The Boogaloo Bath™ line of fun interactive educational bath toys includes the unique Swirly Seahorse™. This bath toy is lots of fun with its child-friendly construction and appealing colors. The Swirly Seahorse encourages gross motor skills through water play and visually teaches the simple concept of action and reaction!

This holiday-time offer combines the floating Boogaloo Bath™ Book and wash Mitt with a colorful matching set of soft Boogaloo Appliqué tiles. The wash Mitt character doubles as a glove puppet, the removable appliqués stick to smooth wet surface. This combination encourages interaction though activities and creative story telling at bath time. Now bath time is an adventure in bonding with your child.

The Boogaloo Munch™ products help toddlers have a fun, learning experience at mealtime. These combination meal trays/plates are of dishwasher safe (upper shelf) molded plastic in bright colors and fun designs. They help wean the child from the high chair to the family meal table while encouraging them to understand the correct layout of table wear while building up their confidence and helping teach table manners.

Plush toys should be all of the above, and they can be. These Boogaloo Buds plush toys are just that and more. They each do something different and they are really fun and are designed to encourage interaction between child and parent.

The cute cow character teaches basic face features in a cartoon-like cow voice. The sheep teaches names of body parts while “Andy Anteater’ is just plain funny making sucking noises. To complement the collection there is “Chelsea Chick,” a unique child operated cuddly nightlight. Batteries are adult accessible and are hidden within an internal Velcro sealed pouch. Built into strategic parts of the Boogaloo Buds are special interactive electronic sensors. This is really a collection because each does different things, but each is sold separately.

If you’ve ever changed your baby’s diaper at a changing station in a public rest room you will certainly understand concerns about hygiene. That is just one area where the Boogaloo Change ‘n Go system really shines with its (removable) built in change mat that insulates the baby from whatever was there before.

The Change N’ Go System is designed to enable the bags to open quickly and easily to form a handy ‘on the go’ changing station with everything at hand. There is plenty of storage space for baby’s bottles, other essentials as well as mom’s stuff – enough for a long day trip or even an overnight at Grandma’s. Even dad will enjoy these functional fashion backpack diaper bags.
