Glo Pals Sesame Street Elmo Water-Activated Light-Up Bath Toy Cubes – Pack of 6, Red Glow
The Glo Pals Sesame Street pack includes six water-activated light-up cubes featuring Elmo that glow red when wet. Designed for children ages 3 and up, these reusable sensory bath toys help build fine motor skills and teach cause and effect through hands-on play. Each cube is sealed, non-toxic, BPA-free, and phthalate-free, making them a safe choice for bathtime, water tables, and baby pools.
How the Glo Pals Work
Drop a cube into water and it lights up automatically. When the cube dries completely, the light turns off. To get the brightest glow, swish the cube face-down in water to remove any trapped air bubbles. Only the time the cube is lit counts against its battery life. Each cube lasts a minimum of 16 lighted hours, which translates to about 30 days of average use. Remove the cubes from water and let them dry fully between play sessions to extend their lifespan.
Skills Through Play
The light-up cubes encourage toddlers and young children to explore cause and effect: they discover that putting the cube in water makes it glow, and taking it out makes it stop. This simple interaction also supports fine motor development, color recognition, and hands-on sensory learning. The familiar Elmo character adds a fun, comforting element to bathtime routines.
Safety and Care
Each Glo Pals cube is sealed to prevent water damage and keep batteries secure. The batteries are not replaceable, but the entire unit is recyclable. The cubes are made from non-toxic materials and are free of BPA and phthalates. A sealed design also resists mold growth. For safety, keep these toys away from children under 3 years old. To maximize battery life, store cubes dry and out of direct sunlight when not in use.

Common Questions
How long does the light stay on?
The light stays on as long as the cube is wet and turns off when it dries. Each cube provides at least 16 hours of cumulative light, so over a typical month of bathtime play you can expect it to last about 30 days.
Can I replace the batteries?
No, the batteries are sealed inside for safety and are not replaceable. Once the light stops working, the cube can be recycled.
Where can I use these cubes?
They work in bathtubs, water tables, baby pools, and any shallow water setting. Just make sure the cubes are fully dry before storing.
Are they safe for a 2-year-old?
The product is recommended for ages 3 and up due to small parts and sealed battery casing. Always supervise children during water play.
