What the testers said: “A very popular product that even the youngest target age group could operate. The water squirter was great fun to encourage children to have water in their face in a game play and it was easy for them to use. It also achieves its purpose of swimming – as such it was a great deal, proving to be robust and durable. This little toy encouraged play and physical development with hand-eye coordination. The product supports the early learning goals by promoting a sense of achievement with its ease of use; stimulating fascination and curiosity in relation to how it works; and developing motor skills.”

hand. This is great as younger children sometimes struggle with activating some of these types of toys. The Lullaby Igglepiggle is very soft which helps stimulate young children whilst also aiding development. We found it to be very robust after some heavy hands playing with it, and it was also really easy to wipe clean, always a bonus! We couldn’t find anything wrong with Igglepiggle and will definitely be recommending this product!”
