PLAYMOBIL Junior & Disney’s Moana’s Boat set is an enchanting toy (in and out of the bath!) that brings Moana’s adventures into your child’s playtime. Designed with younger children in mind, this set encourages imaginative storytelling, hands-on interaction, and language development.

This set includes a Moana figure, a floating boat and sail, Heihei, and 3 tropical flowers with an attachable squirter. The pieces are designed for small hands, making them easy for toddlers to hold and manipulate in the bath or on a play mat. Stories come to life as they “sail” Moana and Heihei across the tub.

Pretend play is vital for early childhood development, allowing children to explore new scenarios, roles, and narratives that build their creativity and social understanding. Toddlers loved acting out Moana’s journeys, helping her “sail” across the tub to reduce Heihei or retrieve floating flowers. This type of play encourages imagination, which in turn strengthens cognitive flexibility and creative thinking.

This type of play encourages kids and caregivers to play together in the bath, creating a language rich environment that narrates actions. “Where’s Heihei? We must save him! He doesn’t know how to swim” or “Watch out for the floating flowers, sail around!” These interactions help children learn new vocabulary, improve sentence structure, and practice verbal communication.

Playtime in the bath naturally fosters focused, one-on-one engagement between a child and caregiver. Caregivers can model simple conversations, such as asking Moana about her journey or asking the child to make Moana steer the boat, supporting communication and interaction.

Moana’s Boat is perfect for imaginative play, language development, and bathtime fun. Through its combination of a familiar character and interactive, water-friendly design, this toy offers valuable learning opportunities. Engaging with a caregiver adds depth to playtime, turning each “sailing” session into an opportunity for language growth and bonding.
