In a pinch for a bath toy?

I realized my ten month old son was over his bath toys when as soon as I put him in the tub, we tried to climb out! As a preschool teacher I am particular with my toys and books for my son. I want them to be developmental, and stimulate his cognitive development while improving his motor skills. So...

I cut up  a sponge in squares, small enough for him to hold, but big enough so he won't choke. He loves them!

Squeezing a sponge (or anything) develops fine motor and prepares their fingers for holding a pencil. Shows cause and effect, and feels great for little teethers!!!
