Janod - Duck Fishing Game for Bath - 6 Ducks & Rod

The Janod Ducky Fishing Game adds a proper game to bath time. Six brightly coloured ducks float on the water and a fishing rod lets little ones hook them out one by one. It comes complete with a carry bag, so everything drains and stores instead of collecting in the corner of the tub.

A reason to get in the bath

Every parent knows the standoff. A bath with a task in it - catch the red one, then the blue one, now catch them all before the water goes cold - resolves that standoff faster than any amount of negotiating. It buys the ten minutes you need to actually wash a child.

The ducks work out of the water too, which is worth knowing. They come out for pool days, paddling pools, kitchen sink play and the occasional carpet fishing expedition when it is raining.

What is included

• 6 colourful rubber ducks that float upright
• 1 fishing rod sized for small hands
• Mesh carry bag for storage and draining
• Suitable for use in the bath, paddling pool or out of water
• Designed for toddlers and young children

Harder than it looks, in a good way

Hooking a floating target requires patience, a steady hand and the ability to correct when it drifts away. It is genuine hand-eye coordination practice, and because the ducks move unpredictably, the challenge stays fresh well past the age when most bath toys get abandoned.

Colour, counting and turn-taking

Six ducks in six colours is an invitation to sort, count and name. Ask for a specific colour and you have a language game; count the catch and you have early numeracy; play with a sibling and you have turn-taking. None of it feels like teaching from inside the bath.

The included carry bag is the practical detail that keeps this toy in service - toys hang up and dry rather than sitting in a puddle, which means they stay in good condition instead of going mouldy by month three.
