The Boon Frog Pod: A 'Frog Prince'

Have you ever tried to give your cat a flee bath? That’s what it was like trying to get my cousin Michael into the tub. When my cousin was three years old, he hated water even more than my cat Smokey. As soon as he heard the bath water running, he’d scuttle to his bedroom, dive into bed and make believe he was sleeping. My wise aunt knew he was merely trying to weasel his way out of his bath, because Michael hated sleeping almost as much as he hated bathing. As you can envision, bath time was not a fun time. The claws came out – and so did the bribes, the threats, and the tears.

It was not until my aunt bought the Boon Frog Pod Deluxe Bath Toy Storage that Michael unexpectedly stopped throwing bath tantrums. She did not purchase the Frog Pod with this intention, but rather to store the armfuls of the toys she bought for Michael in hopes to entice him into the tub. When my aunt was attaching the Frog Pod to the side of the tub with adhesive strips, Michael came into the bathroom and asked what she was doing.

“I’m putting away your toys,” my aunt said, “They're for big boys who take baths.”

Michael stood at the base of the tub with a look of resentment and hesitation, then voluntarily (yes, voluntarily!) stepped into the tub to play with the Boon Frog Pod. He loved the adorable frog scoop and the toys that accompanied it. My aunt quickly dubbed the Frog Pod as her “Frog Prince.” While Michael played with his Boon Frog and toys, he slowly became comfortable with the water and realized that bath time could actually be fun! Thanks to the innovative Boon bath toy, it wasn’t long before my aunt couldn't get him out of the water!

Not only does Boon help make bath time fun and easy for both child and parent, Boon also is dedicated to helping children by donating 10% of all profits to children’s charities.

That is the coolest frog - why didn't we have that when I was a kid?
