Simply place the toy in water to activate the shining lights and a spraying fountain. The built in light brightens up the bathtub with three different colors. It automatically changes between red, blue and green. Turn out the lights for extra fun! The blue whale is also a mini fountain. The water absorbing holes soak up the water while the built in sensors activate a sprinkling stream of water out of the blowhole. Help develop early motor skills and promote visual and sensory discovery through water play. When playtime is over, remove the whale from water, and it will automatically shut off.
