Splish, Splash, and Smart Play: Why Lovevery’s New Bath Set Is About to Change Your Evening Routine

When Lovevery first landed in Australia, I was one of those parents who kept hearing the buzz: “You have to try their Reading Skill Sets, they’re incredible.” And, honestly, they lived up to every bit of hype. Beautifully designed, durable, and backed by expert-led developmental research, the Reading Skill Sets quickly became a favourite in our house – not just for my kids, but for me. They made learning fun, they sparked real progress in confidence and comprehension, and they felt like a breath of fresh air compared to the avalanche of noisy, plastic toys we’ve all come to expect from the kids’ aisle.

So when I heard Lovevery was releasing a brand-new Bath Set for children up to four years old, my curiosity was instantly piqued. Bath time is already one of the rare daily moments when the chaos slows down, the kids are contained (literally), and there’s a chance for connection. But the idea of pairing that calm(ish) environment with cleverly designed toys that nurture motor skills, language, and sensory exploration? That’s the kind of multitasking this tired parent can get behind.

Why Bath Time Is the Unsung Hero of the Day

Bath time doesn’t get enough credit as a developmental goldmine. Between the warm water, soothing acoustics, and the simple fact that there are no screens or distractions (well, apart from a sibling trying to sneak in and “help”), you’ve got the perfect setting for focused, one-on-one play. Kids are relaxed, engaged, and more open to interaction. It’s the kind of natural pause in the day that fosters connection – and the kind of parent-child connection that Lovevery designs for so well.

The Bath Set is more than just another batch of water toys. Lovevery has tapped into research showing that tactile play during routines can help kids build vocabulary, develop coordination, and even regulate their emotions. By pairing familiar water play with intentional design, they’re helping parents turn an everyday moment into a developmental boost.

First Impressions: Sleek, Sturdy, and Very Lovevery

Lovevery has a knack for making toys that are equal parts functional and beautiful – a rare combo in the world of early learning gear. This Bath Set follows suit with modern, minimal colours, no garish characters, and materials that feel high-quality in your hands. It’s designed for kids to scoop, spin, pour, and explore, with pieces that are both easy to grip for tiny hands and interesting enough to keep them engaged for longer than 30 seconds.

One thing I really appreciate: it’s mould-resistant. Every parent who’s ever unearthed a rubber duck with an alarming amount of “mystery goo” inside will understand why this matters. Each piece in the set is easy to clean, fast-drying, and doesn’t trap water – which means less scrubbing, fewer replacements, and more peace of mind.

Designed for the Way Kids Learn Best

Lovevery’s ethos has always been about designing toys and activities that work with your child’s developmental stage, not just keeping them busy. The Bath Set brings this same approach to water play. It’s packed with opportunities for fine motor skill development – think scooping and pouring, spinning wheels, and fitting pieces together – all while sparking curiosity about cause and effect.

There’s also a big focus on language building. As your child plays, you can narrate what’s happening (“The wheel is spinning fast,” “You’re pouring the water into the cup”) or introduce new concepts (“This one floats, that one sinks”). This kind of intentional conversation during play has been shown to boost vocabulary and comprehension, even before formal schooling starts.

For older toddlers, there’s the opportunity to experiment – filling, emptying, seeing what happens when they pour from higher up versus lower down. It’s sensory exploration, STEM learning, and imaginative play all rolled into one bath-time package.

A Win for Parents, Too

As a parent, the Bath Set ticks a lot of boxes for me:
• Keeps them seated – Less slipping, sliding, and standing up in the tub means less stress for me.
• Open-ended play – No rigid “rules” or one-way-to-play means it grows with your child’s skills and imagination.
• Quality over clutter – Instead of a tub full of random toys, you have a few well-made, well-thought-out pieces that actually get used.
• Easy clean-up – A quick rinse and air dry, and it’s ready to go again.

It’s also worth noting that Lovevery products are built to last. Our Reading Skill Sets still look brand new after months of use, and I expect the Bath Set to have the same staying power.

Turning Routine into Ritual

What I love most about Lovevery – and what this Bath Set really highlights – is their ability to make the everyday feel meaningful. Bath time doesn’t have to be a chore sandwiched between dinner and bedtime. With the right tools, it can be a moment you both look forward to – a ritual that’s fun, relaxing, and sneakily educational.

The Bigger Picture: Play With Purpose

If you’re new to Lovevery, it’s worth knowing that their products aren’t just beautiful for the sake of it – they’re grounded in child development research. Every piece is designed in collaboration with experts, from occupational therapists to Montessori educators, to ensure it meets real developmental needs.

That’s why their Reading Skill Sets have been such a hit in our household. They’ve made a noticeable difference in my child’s confidence and curiosity around reading, and they’re the kind of toy that grows with your child rather than being abandoned after a week. The Bath Set carries the same DNA – purposeful, engaging, and built to last.

The Verdict: Worth the Space on Your Bath Caddy

At $90, the Lovevery Bath Set isn’t the cheapest water play option out there – but that’s because it’s not just another bath toy. It’s an investment in quality, longevity, and daily moments that matter. It’s the difference between a bath that’s simply functional and one that sparks imagination, builds skills, and strengthens your bond with your child.

For parents who value toys that do more – more learning, more connection, more longevity – this set is an easy yes. And if you’ve tried Lovevery before, you already know: when they launch something new, it’s going to be good.
