BobBee( MSRP $ 34.99 for ages 9 mos – 6 years) is the all-new water toy that is three boats in one = Bob and Bee... and BobBee. The new toy craft is the brainchild of Reisa Schwartzman, President of Griddly, with contributions from the construction and engineering team of The Cape Group, one of Vancouver’ s top property development companies.
As the story goes, Bob is a steamboat with heavy load and strong capabilities, but with slow, steady movement. Bee is a smaller, agile, and quicker boat, but with limited freight capacity. Together( fitting together two toys into one), BobBee is a strong and swift channeling vessel of fun.
The story and play pattern of BobBee embodies S. T. E. M.( Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) as well as M. E. S. H.( Mental, Emotional and Social Health) properties as Bob and Bee each have their unique strengths, but together they can work effectively and efficiently. Demonstrating science properties of bouyancy, water displacement, weight and volume, the personalities of the boats also embrace their differences, both strengths and weakenesses, and prove that teamwork can help them and others.
BobBee is made of 100 % food grade silicone and dishwasher safe. Its features are all smooth edges and include suction cup portholes, towing tail, and multiple storage compartments that all aid in the imaginative fun of the new toy. BobBee can be played with in the bathtub, water table, sink or on dry land.
