To all the parents who dread giving their uncooperative kids a bath, fear not! Bathtime is about to get a whole lot more fun. We just learned about Honeystick’s brilliant Bath Color Drops (or should we say “Colour” for the New Zealand-based company?), and to say we’re obsessed would be an understatement.
And we’re not the only ones. The genius product is making (ahem) waves in the bath toys industry, and shoppers just can’t get enough. The colorful tablets are flying off the shelves and have become the new bath bombs for kids. Even bubble baths lose their typical allure without an assist from these Color Drops.
Just add one of the tablets to a bath, and your kids will be amazed by the instant color transformation. Sure, bath bombs can have color-changing effects too, but the “vibrancy” and the formula from Honeysticks is what really sets these apart.
Like all of their products (we’re talking crayons, finger paints, and more!), Honeysticks’ Color Drops are made from non-toxic ingredients and 100% New Zealand beeswax. Which is especially valuable when you think about just how much toddlers love to drink bath water — no matter how many times they are told not to.
“If your kids are prone to tasting the bath water for whatever weirdo reason they always seem to want to do that, I appreciate that these have pretty simple, nontoxic ingredients,” one happy shopper said.
And then there’s the vibrancy. Parents can’t get over just how pigmented these drops are. Whereas they might have to double up with other tablets, shoppers say they can break the Honeysticks Color Drops in half (or into fourths!) and still get a vibrant color that their kids adore.

Perhaps best of all, parents have figured out that they can turn bathtime into a teachable moment by combining different color drops. Just ask kids what they think will happen if you mix together a blue and a yellow tablet. What about blue and red?
“We’ve tried a few bath color tabs and these are by far the most vibrant colors,” one person said before echoing the sentiment of many other shoppers who insisted they don’t stain the tub. ” … Kids love mixing the primary colors to make secondary colors. Great for a fun bath and for learning basic color theory.”
The dissolving tablets have thousands of rave reviews on Amazon (and return buyers!), so it’s no surprise they keep selling out. If you can’t find them on their own (or if you want to add another toy into the mix!), Honeysticks also has an “Ultimate Bath Fun Set.”

The set includes the drops and Honeysticks’ bath crayons. And their crayons — bath or otherwise — have really garnered a cult following. Full disclosure, shoppers say the bath crayons are a smidge difficult to clean off tub walls but “worth the extra elbow grease.” And, just like with the bath water, you don’t have to panic if your kid decides to — “for whatever weirdo reason” — munch on the crayons.
If your kid has outgrown the bath stage, or if you’re lucky enough to have some bright and sunny weather, Honeysticks Color Drops are also great for playing at water tables and kiddie pools. You’ll just want to keep them away from real pools and chlorine.
Happy colorful splashing!
