Green Toys Seaplane - Eco-Friendly Yellow Airplane Toy for Kids | Perfect for Bath Time, Pool Play & Outdoor Adventures

Durable, will made and fun colors.This toy is fun, educational, eco-friendly, made in the USA, and phthalate, BPA, and lead free. It's a guilt-free toy!It is one of our favorite bath toys. It floats very well (compared to many other bath toys that don't), and it sparks my 5-year old's imagination. He likes to pretend that the plane is landing on the water, or he will push the plane under so it fills up with water and pretend it is sinking (so his superheroes can save the day). His 1.5 year old sister loves filling it up and dumping it out as well.The only improvement I could possibly suggest would be for it to come with a little pilot to put in and take out of the cockpit. We don't have an action figure that is small enough, but this is really a very minor consideration. We might even be able to find something that would work. We actually haven't looked because my kiddo doesn't seem to mind at all, and it hasn't affected his enjoyment of the toy. We would still buy this toy over and over again.Because it does sink, it would be best for a tub or a pool (as opposed to a lake where you may not find it). The drain holes are great--it drains fast and seems to dry completely. I have yet to have problems with it getting smelly or moldy. The price is really reasonable for the quality of this toy, in my opinion. Love it!It's a very well made product but despite all the drain holes, I worry about mold. I wish there was a way to easily open it. It looks like it might come open but I'm scared I'll break it. Hopefully there's nothing harmful growing inside.We purchased this sea plane because the Green Toys Tugboat has proven to be everything the manufacturer claims. For the past six months, it has been our toddler's favorite pool and bathtub toy. It fits small hands, holds just enough water to be fun to play with and is easy to drain or clean. These are by far the best toys for a wet environment, as well as being made of sturdy materials and colors are added in the manufactruing process and not painted on later. This makes the toys safer and nothing has broken or chipped by a toddler that likes to play rough and make big splashes. We highly recommend any toy made by this company. We intend to buy the submarine when the weather gets warm.The only problem is the propeller does not turn/spin easily.My specialty is in Early Childhood Education, I've been in the field for 8+ years.

Super easy to clean & handles the roughness of a toddler really well! I personally love the “green toys” and this one was no different!My kids have had Green Toys for years, so when it was time to pick something out for my 3 year old for his 4th birthday, it was a no brainer. Gave him this right before going to the beach. He loves it. Spent all week playing with it in the sand and salt water. Easy to clean and no concerns over rust since there is no metal. A lot of fun on the beach, in the pool, and in the house as well. Just a great purchase.I have a few of these bath toys now and I love them. This seaplane is wonderful - it's big and chunky with a spinning propellor and it floats very well. It's a little bit big for my youngest (2) but my eldest (3 and a half) loves it. I've been using it to teach her about airplanes and buoyancy and she loves playing with it and making the noises. Fantastic. I'm not too sure about the green and yellow colour combination but my child seems to like it. It would have been greet to have a little pilot included, as they have a miniature cockpit, but that's just a minor niggle.The plane came in really simple cardboard packaging. No fancy paints or plastic - and that's great. I hate the waste that we usually have with our children's toys, particularly the large amount of plastic (see pictures below).*Pros*Simple, bright, fun coloursDishwasher safeKids love itTeach your children about airplanesFun propeller to spinEasy to unpackNo assembly requiredVery low wasteDecent priceLove the company's philosophy*Cons*Would have been great to have a little pilot*Verdict*Very highly recommended. Love it.My 3yr old little boy is obsessed with planes so absolutely loves this, great just for messing around with or in the bath! Can't wait for warmer weather so can try it down on the beach, nicely packaged (no silly/unnecessary screws, clips etc) my only annoyance was that it was just left on the doorstep for anyone to pick up & no card put the the door, even though there was someone in all day ?The headline says it all really. I bought the seaplane, ferry boat and boat. They have been subjected to the most severe abuse from my two youngsters and have 'sailed through with flying colours'. I think that they are a tad expensive but I suppose that good quality doesn't come cheapThis is very strong and well designed toy. Fun to play in the bath. Nice change from boats, and sea creatures for bath time.Tough and easy maintenance. Kids loved it for their bath.
