This can be used not only during bath time with children, but also during water play. It seems like children enjoy squishing the inflated Shin-pyu and hearing the "pshew" sound, and they happily squish it. I'm concerned about mold with toys used in water, but this is made of cloth, so I can store it without worrying about hygiene, which is recommended. Please read the profile before commenting.
