Please note: I haven't tried these out in the bath so I don't know how well they would float upright.  Wood swells when it stays wet which may mean that that it doesn't last as long as you'd hope.  Ideal though as a toy in a dry environment.

Comes in four colours.  We will send you one boat with the colour chosen at random.
