Toy sail boats are also a great education tool, which you can use to teach your toddler or preschooler about how sails work in the wind and the importance of water safety when you're out in a boat.
They can help enhance their mathematical and science skills (floating, sinking, heavy and light) and hand-eye coordination too.
