The SwimWays Rainbow Reef Guppie is a brightly colored, water-activated toy fish that swims around when placed in water. It is interactive and perfect for pool, bath, or water table play.
While it’s designed for fun, this little guppie is also a surprising star when it comes to supporting speech and language development. With simple, high-frequency words like “go”, “stop”, “swim”, “in”, “out”, and “more”, this toy provides natural opportunities to model and practice core vocabulary – perfect for early communicators.
The Rainbow Reef Guppie is also an excellent tool for concept development of spatial and comparative concepts, WH questions, and social communication (e.g., joint attention, making requests, and turn taking). It is also a fantastic toy for imaginative play and storytelling. Kids can give the fish a name and personality – maybe it’s going on an ocean adventure or meeting other fishy friends. This type of pretend play is a great way to support narrative development and sequencing.
The Swimways Rainbow Reef Guppie is a small toy with big language-building potential. Whether in the bath or a sensory bin, this interactive fish makes water play a time for connection, learning, and communication.
