LOYUEGIYO Bath Fishing Toy Set, ABS

For families looking to make bath time more interactive, this set turns the tub into a simple fishing game. It includes four wind-up swimming whales, a magnetic fishing pole and a net, so children can try two ways of catching the toys. The listing describes it for ages 18 months and up, though the child’s comfort with small play pieces and water activities should guide your choice.

Wind each whale by turning its button clockwise, release it in the water and let your child try to catch it. What makes this more engaging than a floating toy alone? The moving whales give little hands something to follow, while the pole adds a gentle coordination challenge.

Best use cases

This toy is most suited to supervised bath play, where there is room for the whales to move and for a child to practise guiding the pole. A younger child can use the net for a simpler catch, an older child may enjoy trying to land the magnetic pole on a whale’s head. The toys can also be used on the floor, according to the listing, although the swimming action is specifically for water.

Picture a whale drifting across the tub while your child steadies the rod, adjusts its line and tries to bring it close. The game can start with one catch and become more challenging as they try to catch several. It’s a more hands-on choice than a basic bath float, but it still relies on the child being interested in a repeated catching game. It suits you if you want a battery-free activity with both a fishing pole and an easier net option. It may not be for you if you need a toy that entertains without hands-on play or adult supervision.

Product specs

• Type: Bath fishing game
• Includes: Four wind-up whales, one fishing pole and one net
• Fishing: Magnetic connection between the pole’s bait and the whales’ heads
• Material: ABS, listed as BPA-free
• Age guidance: 18 months and up
• Power: No batteries required
• Water detail: A drain hole on each whale’s bottom is intended to let water out and help keep the inside dry

The whales need to be wound by hand, and catching them with the pole depends on bringing the magnetic parts together. The listing provides no dimensions, so it’s difficult to judge how much space the pieces take up or how they’ll fit in a particular tub. The drain hole is a useful design detail, but it doesn’t remove the need to rinse and dry bath toys between uses. Based on the listing details, those are practical points to keep in mind rather than reasons to expect completely maintenance-free storage.

Where it shines

The set offers a small step up from toys that only float: children can watch the whales move, then practise aiming and catching. Having a net as well as a pole gives the game a less demanding option, which may be helpful when a child is still getting used to the magnetic catch. And unlike a more elaborate powered bath toy, this one doesn’t need batteries, the trade-off is that the whales must be wound manually.

Final decision

Choose this set if your child enjoys water play and you want a simple activity involving movement, aiming and catching rather than another passive tub toy. The four wind-up whales, magnetic pole and net give the game a couple of ways to play, while the drain holes address one common concern with enclosed bath toys. It’s less compelling if your priority is a toy that works without winding, or if you need exact size details before buying. Before choosing, make sure the 18-month-plus age guidance and the hands-on style suit your child and your bath-time routine.
