H2O La La Color Changing Bath Tablets, 300-Piece

Make the water cool vibrant colors to make bath time very fun

There are big and small tablets and the color is great from both sizes. My daughter loves mixing the colors

My grandkids love these things. My Grandson calls it his science experiment he enjoys mixing the colors to see the final result before he takes his bath. He developed his own routine of mixing before he even takes a bath these days, but even the days where he doesn't really want to jump in the tub, he gets excited once he starts his experiment as he calls it. I have purchased about 4 of these so far and they last quite a while. The smaller tablets do a good job of coloring the water so you don't always have to use the bigger tables. They dissolve all the way and at no time have they discolored anything but the water. You can get multiple color combinations and they come out nice looking. The more you add the deeper the color gets. The price for these compared to the others is why I keep buying them. I do recommend them if you have a child that just wants some added fun for the bath or anything else you might want colored water for. I can't say how long they hold the color, except that it definitely lasts for a whole bath.

These are awesome. My grandsons love them. Fizzy and dissolve completely. No staining.

My kids love these and have used them for fun in the bath and also to learn about how colors mix. I'd prefer more of the big ones and the count of 300 is just a bit low (though the overall weight of 365 grams is more than the advertised 355 grams.)One big tablet is enough to color a tub with perhaps 4 to 6" of water in it. For a full tub to have dark colors, it takes about 5 of the big tablets.The big tablets each weigh about 2.9 grams (so about 10 would weigh 1 oz). The little tablets weigh about 0.38 g (so about 74 of the small tablets would weigh 1 oz.). The small tablets are great for science coloring projects, but for coloring bath water, it takes about 7 of them to make one big tablet. If you assume 1 large tablet/bath and count 7 little tablets as one big tablet, you get 127 baths.As a comparison, I found Sesame Street Fizzy Tub Color Tablets - 150 Baths - Value Pack for $10.96 on Amazon.com. About the same number of baths for a bit less, and all the tablets are big. That's where I'll go next time EXCEPT the little one are great for experiments!NOTE: the red tablet looks purple before it dissolves and the yellow tablet looks more orange before it dissolves.Science coloring ideas: Put enough warm milk on a 6" dish to fully cover the bottom. Put one each of the red, yellow, and blue tablets around the perimeter, so the tablets would be the points of a triangle. Watch as the milk dissolves the tables. Then, add a drop or two of dish soap. The soap interacts with the fats in the milk and causes tiny currents in the milk that mixes the colors. Use a toothpick to draw the color from one tablet to another and watch the mixing colors.Another science idea: In each of 3 clear glasses (or test tube, preferably with a cork stopper) with warm water, dissolve a small red, yellow, and blue tablet. Hold the red and blue up to the light and see the color purple. Red + yellow for orange; blue + yellow for green. In a white, empty ice cube tray, using a water dropper, put varying amounts of the different colors together to make different shades of red, yellow, blue, purple, orange, and green. With water absorbing crystals (aka water absorbing polymers), you can make colored crystals. These may be obtained from Amazon (I found them at $12/lb), walmart ($5/lb) or by cutting open a diaper. See also stevespanglerscience.com water-absorbing-crystals project (I can't put in the full URL, but google will help here). Put a few of the crystals in each of the ice cube spots. In a few minutes, the crystals will start to grow by absorbing the colored water. Eventually (days to weeks later), the crystals will completely dry out, but they will retain their color.

We've been fighting bathtime for awhile now with my just-turned-two-year-old. I decided to try these bath tablets because they looked pretty neat. She LOVES them. The colors are bright and vibrant, and she thinks it is a lot of fun to "throw colors" into the bath water and watch them fizz away. All it takes to make the transition to bathtime is asking her what color bath she wants tonight.The colors are jewel tones, but they aren't "classic" colors - the red is really a hot pink/fuschia, the blue is a bright topaz turquoise, etc. As a result, if you mix for secondary colors, you get those hues but not classic rainbow colors. The small tablets on their own don't do much, but we've had the best luck using them when making the secondary colors. For example, if you use a big red and big blue tablet together, you get a dark blue, indigo color rather than at true purple. However, a big red tablet and two small blue tablets yields a much more true purple color. If you do a 1:2 ratio of the large lighter color to two smaller darker colors, your resulting secondary color will be much more accurate.These don't leave any kind of stain on either the kid or the tub, either.These have definitely been worth the money for us as it means the transition to bathtime and the time IN the bath is fun and not full of screams. My DD will even be a perfect angel for hairwashing with the promise of throwing colors afterward. :-)

These turned around bath time and the price is great. My 2 year old went through another round of hating baths. Screaming fits, twisting and climbing out, dangerous for him and stressful all of us. I would rather bathe the cats, seriously. This went on for a long 3 months. It got to the point neither my husband nor I could stand it and he got bathed with baby wipes for about a month. I tried toys, bubbles, having the other kiddo for company, nothing worked. He really loves colors and I saw these and ordered them. When they came, we started talking about them and he got interested. When he saw it, he wanted in the tub, it was that simple. Color baths did the trick. Now he acts like the whole bath drama thing never even happened he gets in the tub and makes the color combinations and has great fun. Its been 2 months now, we have about 1/3 of the jar left, we will not run out of these magic tabs!

My son loves adding color to the water, but ours only came with blue, purple, and orange so we can’t even mix tablets to make other colors.Disappointed
