The Bath Toy That Bobs, Wobbles, and Pours — Ages 12 Months+
The Fat Brain Toys Waddle Bobbers are a set of four chunky floating characters designed to make bath time genuinely fun. Drop them in the tub and they bob upright, wobble when nudged, and pour water through small holes in their bases — delivering the kind of simple, satisfying cause-and-effect moments that babies and toddlers can't get enough of. No batteries, no setup, no fuss. Just water, wobble, and a lot of splashing.

Why Kids (and Parents) Love It
-
The wobble is the point: Push a Waddle Bobber and it rocks back upright — every single time. That simple action is endlessly fascinating for toddlers building their understanding of cause and effect.
-
Four characters, four ways to play: Each Bobber has its own personality. Kids pour, stack, race, and splash — the open-ended format means play evolves as they do.
-
Turns bath time into play time: For parents who battle the nightly bath routine, having something genuinely engaging in the tub makes a real difference. These earn their spot.
-
No batteries, no charging: Entirely water-powered. Nothing to replace, nothing to break, nothing to lose except the occasional Bobber under the bubbles.
-
Easy to dry and store: Small drainage holes let water escape after bath time. Rinse, shake, and leave to air dry — no mould traps if cared for properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age are the Waddle Bobbers best suited for?
Recommended from 12 months. Younger toddlers (12–18 months) enjoy the wobbling action and splashing with some adult engagement. By 2–3 years, children play more independently — pouring, racing the characters, and making up stories around them.
How many are included?
Four Waddle Bobbers are included per set — enough to keep multiple little hands busy at once, or to line them up for a wobble race along the edge of the tub.
Do they need batteries?
No — the Waddle Bobbers are entirely non-powered. The wobbling action is mechanical (weighted base), and the pouring is simply water flowing through small holes. Nothing to charge, replace, or worry about.
Are they easy to clean and dry?
Yes — rinse with clean water after each bath and allow to air dry thoroughly. The drainage holes help water escape, but it's worth shaking them out and leaving them in a well-ventilated spot to prevent any moisture build-up inside. Avoid sealing them in an airtight container while still damp.
What skills do they support?
The Waddle Bobbers support cause-and-effect understanding (push it, it wobbles back), fine motor development (grasping, pouring, and splashing), sensory exploration (water flow, floating objects, tactile feedback), and early imaginative play as toddlers begin to give the characters names and stories.
Who makes the Waddle Bobbers?
The Waddle Bobbers are designed by Fat Brain Toys, an independent toy company founded in 2003 and based in Omaha, Nebraska, USA. Fat Brain Toys is widely recognised in the early childhood space for creating original, award-winning toys that prioritise genuine developmental value over gimmicks.
Are they safe for toddlers?
Yes — the Waddle Bobbers are made from durable, non-toxic materials and are designed for toddler use. As with all bath toys, adult supervision is recommended at all times during water play.
