While walk in showers are a lovely luxury, many of us are stuck with the plain bathtubs that require a shower curtain. It can be easy to go for whales or frogs, especially if you have little ones. But a kids shower curtain only makes you feel like you’re in the wrong bathroom. They don’t care if there are whales or not, as long as you have the bath toys!
