Yookidoo Flow 'N' Fill Spout Review. The International Playthings Yookidoo Flow N' Fill Spout is an automatic play spout that attaches to the tub and offers so many ways to play. Water is drawn up and through the spout creating an endless stream. Use three different activity tumblers to play with the water as it falls- create a shower with one and turn a propeller with another. The third tumbler features a hidden friend inside who floats to the surface when filled with water - peek-a-boo. Use the tumblers individually or stack them and watch the water run through all three at once. Swiveling arm holds the tumblers and can be placed directly under the stream or pushed off to the side. The spout swivels, too. Easy for kids to turn on and off by themselves- just press the face....
"Major Bath-Time Fun" 2010-06-21
By Charles Evans (North Carolina)
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R33NCOFGMD8IIC The Yookidoo is great bath time fun - better yet, kids of all ages will love it (well up to a point). The concept of the Yookidoo fountain is pretty basic it has an opening at the bottom with a small pump. The pump circulates the water to the top and fountain is put into motion (it will make more sense once you see the video). Our daughter loves playing with her Yookidoo even if it is mainly to try to find ways to drink the water!
Things we like -
- It is very quiet - if it wasn't for the falling water you wouldn't even know it was on
- A variety of cups to catch the water (see the video)
- Suction cups work great for attaching to the bath tub.
- Seems to be high quality (so far) we have used it daily for about 1 month.
Areas for improvement
- It is a minor complaint, but it might be nice if it was a little bigger
Final Verdict- I can't imagine any child that wouldn't enjoy the Yookidoo fountain. You can buy this with confidence.

"Lots of entertainment" 2009-09-17

If your children enjoy playing with running water, this toy is a great alternative to continually running the faucet. It seems to be well made and has functioned well for the months that I have had it.
I purchased this toy for my 2 year old, but my five and seven year olds play with it, too. I have been known to stick a cranky kid in the tub to play with this toy for an hour or so- a break for me and an attitude changer for the child!
I am purchasing a few of these for Christmas presents this year!
"Perfect!" 2009-10-09
By M. Lovelace
This toy was a WONDERFUL purchase. My two-year-old little boy would cry every time we turned off the big faucet b/c he loved having the water running. Now he can't wait to get into the tub and use his own faucet. He loves having the power to turn it on and off and the little cups entertain him for a few moments every time. If your child loves running water this is a MUST have. I love that it doesn't waste water and that it makes bath time more pleasant.
"Great toy" 2009-10-09
By Tony B. (San Francisco, California United States)
Pros -- hours of fun; both the 1.5-year old and 3-year old love playing with this thing, or at a minimum want it running in the background. Saves a lot of water (and money) as well vs letting them play with running water from the faucet! The batteries last a surprisingly long time -- more than two months with significant daily use.
Cons -- after we started using the spout, we started seeing some dark residue after the bath water was emptied out of the tub. Now, before each use, I rinse the bottom part with running water and turn it on and run some water through it outside of the tub. This procedure seems to have addressed the residue issue.
It's a really neat idea and a great item overall.

my two year old son really likes this toy. It is easy for him to turn off and on. And the tumblers that come with it are lots of fun too. Especially the one where the water turns a propellor.
