Key features & specs

How it compares

Unlike the Munchkin Fishin' Magnetic Bath Toy which uses hard plastic, the haakaa set uses soft silicone that is gentler on bath tubs and safe for teething. Compared to squeeze-and-squirt bath toys, the fishing set adds a skill-building element that extends the lifespan of the toy as children grow. It is simpler than the mushie Vehicles Bath Toys Play Set and more focused on hand-eye coordination.

What to know before buying

1. The fishing set works best with the rod and fish fully submerged — the magnetic connection is strong but requires water for optimal stickiness.
2. Rinse the silicone pieces after each use and air dry; they are naturally mold-resistant but should not be left wet in a enclosed bin.
3. The numbers on the fish allow for counting and color recognition, adding an early-learning component.
4. Do not boil or sterilize the silicone; a mild dish soap wash is sufficient.
5. Supervision is recommended during play, as the fishing rod handle is long.

Our 2-year-old asks for fishing every bath now. The silicone is soft and the magnet works well. I love that there are no holes for mold — a huge relief compared to our old plastic toy.

Frequently asked questions

Is haakaa Baby Bath Fishing Toy Set worth the price?

Yes, it offers excellent value for a silicone, mold-free toy that lasts. At just over $15, it is more affordable than many leading silicone bath toys.

Does this product work for babies under 12 months?

It is best suited for toddlers 18 months and up. Under 12 months, the rod handle may be too long, but the fish alone can be used as teething toys.

How does haakaa compare to plastic fishing bath sets?

Plastic fishing toys often have magnets covered in metal or plastic that rust; haakaa uses fully encapsulated silicone magnets that are safe and rust-proof.

Can the fish be used without the rod?

Yes, the fish are great as floating teethers or bath squirters (they have a small solid center, no holes). They also stick to metal surfaces, so they can be used outside the tub for play.

Are the materials safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, 100% food-grade silicone is hypoallergenic and free from BPA, latex, phthalates, and PVC. It is a common choice for babies with eczema or sensitive skin.
