The plastic rod has suction cups for adhering to bath tiles or a bathtub, four slots that allows the four scoop toys to hang from their handles, and two plastic knobs in back for hanging the mesh storage net.

The four scoop toys are of assorted geometric shapes and colors and can be used to collect and pour bath water. The plastic duck floats on the water and squirts water when squeezed. The set is designed to provide amusement to a bathing child.

Each “bead” has a small protuberance on one end that can be fitted into an opening on the end of another “bead” to form a chain. These linkable pieces are packaged in a cardboard box with a window display, and are designed to provide manual and visual stimulation for an infant.
