Boon Water Bugs, Scrubble, and Flo Review/Giveaway CLOSED

If you're a Mom and you haven't heard of Boon, you're surely missing out. 'Cause seriously, I LOVE. ME. SOME. BOON. Everything they make just seems so....well thought out. Which seems silly...like why wouldn't every company make well thought out products, but once you check out the line of Boon awesome-ness, you'll see what I mean.

Boon not only makes well thought out products, the whole company is just well thought out. Boon is committed to donating 10% of profits to charities specifically benefiting children in need...which rocks. In addition, all of their products (or at least, I think its all of their products) are BpA-free, Phthalate-free, and PVC-free, which means they're safe for your littles. SWEET!

Boon kindly sent me three products to review....

Water Bugs

Scrubble

and Flo.

Everything arrived in fun packaging that showcased the products beautifully. The Water Bugs and Scrubble were a pain in the you-know-what to get into, but that's pretty much expected these days.

I'll be honest, I was most excited about the Flo. Its just (again) SOOOO well thought out! Its a protective faucet cover, a water deflector, AND a bubble dispenser. AND it comes in three adorable colors! Unfortunately, my dreams were completely shot down when it didn't fit on our abnormally-shaped faucet. : (
(Boo, home builders...y'all couldn't just go with some run-of-the-mill faucets?)

The Scrubble and Water Bugs were instant hits with the girls, however, so that made up for the lack of Flo-usability. Hensley and Daycie played with both toy sets all afternoon...out of the tub. Well, let me clarify. Hensley played with them, Daycie just chewed on them. LOL Bathtime came around, or as its called around here, "upstairs-inside-pool-time" (because we can't seem to get Hensley to want to take a bath unless we refer to it as a pool), and the Scrubble and Water Bugs were the "main attractions" for this evenings' event. The Scrubble set was fun for a few minutes, but Hensley found them hard to squeeze. She enjoyed having me squeeze them for her, but that quickly turned into her asking me to take the tops off so she could use the squeeze-ey bottom part as a cup for drinking bath water.

Let me just say this: every family seriously should have the Water Bugs set. Its the perfect size toy, there are enough pieces to share, and once again, its well thought out! The handle on the bug net is bulb-shaped, making it super easy for Hensley's little wet hands to hold on to it. The bugs are just adorable, floating around the tub. Hensley loved scooping them up, dumping them out, counting them, telling me what colors they are, "Boo, Ite, Eeen!" (Blue, White, Green!) and sharing them with Daycie. I think the only way Boon could make this toy any better would be to add more bugs...or maybe offer more bugs as like, an add-on to the Water Bugs set.

All in all, Boon has got the right idea when it comes to products for babies and kids. Safe, fun, reasonably priced, and well thought out. What more can you ask for?
