If you find that when you share a bathroom with your toddler your ability to take a luxurious bath with salts, candles and some Michael Bolton on the stereo is constantly being interrupted by a PT boat lodging itself between your thighs, then it may be time to invest in a giant frog.
Boon, known for their creative, modern and hip designs for fabulous families has been marketing the Boon Frog Pod as a tool to make the gathering and storage of bath toys into something fun and less frustrating. It is a great design with enough storage to hold 15 to 20 toys (depending on their size) as well as a ledge for you to put bottles of shampoo and soap. The toes on the frog are perfect to hang light items such as a bath sponges and puffs. Suffice it to say, our frog holds items that belong to BOTH Spicy Girl and Mommy.
When I got the Boon Frog at my baby shower, my sister-in-law said that they had received one as well, but it didn’t work. It would fall off the wall. Besides this being a buzz-kill at the shower (honestly, I was STOKED to get my frog), it’s not accurate. The frog comes with 3 different methods for hanging. The first is a double-sided super adhesive tape. The second is a set of screws that go into the wall or tile. I decided to forgo these two methods, as I didn’t want to cause any damage to the wall. So, I went with what I was convinced would be the least effective of the three options, the suction cup mounted hook. The suction cups worked great, but just remember to READ the directions and be PATIENT. You will need to treat the wall with rubbing alcohol prior to hanging, and let the wall fully dry before mounting the suction cups. Our frog is fully loaded and has never fallen off the wall.
The frog is surprisingly large, but the best part of the design is the scoop that you can use to collect all of the toys and then immediately slip into its holder in the body of the frog. From there, the toys dry right in the scooper. Boon also offers a ladybug version as well, in case frogs aren’t your thing.
Now, for an added bonus – my husband tells me that the scoop also comes in handy when you are greeted with “something else” floating in the tub and need a quick way to remove it. (See Becca’s story “Lowering Standards” and you’ll get what I’m talking about.)
