the frog pod

tot trends weeklySpring has sprung...and since we associate early spring with showers, we thought it only appropriate to introduce you to the best bathtime invention yet. Enter Boon, an innovative company set out to create contemporary products that simplify our lives and retain our personal style.



Their first product released is the Frog Pod, a bath toy, scoop, drain, and storage unit. The Frog Pod is well-designed with a modern flair, and a very practical bath accessory. Now cleanup is easy with all your child's bath needs in one place...but more importantly, it helps eliminate mildew and bath residue on toys. With a back shelf for your childs shampoos, and hands and feet to hold your childs loofah and washclothes, the Boon Frog Pod is the best bath system for kids we have seen. The scoop allows you to pick up all the toys in one swoop, and with the drain holes you are able to rinse and drain the toys easily. Mildew is a worry of all parents, and the Boon Frog Pod will amaze you (yet leave you wondering why someone hadn't come up with this sooner)!

We simply love inventive companies and feel that those who also give back are truly deserving of praise. Not only is the Boon Frog Pod an amazing toy at a great price, but Boon donates 10% of their profits to children?s charities. Boon has won numerous awards for this design, and we can't wait to bring you their latest product in the works...the Potty Bench.
