Boon Water Bugs Bath Toy & Snack Ball Review
6:30 PM Posted by Mommy Is Green
The first thing I do when it comes to items for my son is see if they are free of BPA, PVC, and phthalates. What I adore about Boon is that their products are already labeled BPA-free, PVC-free, and Phthalate-free. I really couldn't appreciate that more because it saves me time.
Boon has lots of great products including rubber ducks, bowls, plates, utensils, potty benches, highchairs, etc. I was able to try out the Boon Water Bugs bath toy (shown above) for my son. This really is a fun bath toy. My son usually gives some resistance to getting a bath once he gets bored but the Water Bugs keep him happily occupied. He's learning to catch the floating bugs in the net so that keeps him pretty busy. That and dumping the bugs out.
He also likes to play with the bugs outside of the tub. All of the pieces are easy to dry including the net so it isn't a problem. I was wondering how the net would be while drying and if any of the water would get into where the net is settled into the plastic. There aren't any holes in the plastic part of the net that I can see and when I shake the net to see if water has gone into the plastic I don't hear any. That's how I was hoping it would be since some bath toys have holes and can get mold in them.
My son was also able to enjoy the Snack Ball from Boon. I love this snack ball and so does Little Stuff! What I like the best about it is that it's extremely easy to clean and convenient to use. I can unscrew the ball and take the sliding lid off for a thorough cleaning. It's an item I can hand wash in a pinch. Often with plastic baggies I would run out of them and forget I didn't have any more. Then I had nothing to put my son's snacks in on the way out. The Snack Ball is a great way for me to reduce waste and always have something to carry snacks.
This item is also great because it keeps my son's snacks from getting crushed in the diaper bag. I like how I can just toss the Snack Ball into the bag and forget about it. I don't have to worry about where in the bag it is because I might end up a bunch of crumbs. This product solves so many issues for me and my son has no problems sliding open the lid and getting all of his snacks out. He gets very excited because it's a ball too!

I love Boon. When Chase was little I had a ton of stuff from them. Their bowls are cool too. And there spoons, you can bend them for easier feeding!!
