How long can your child hold it? If she's in Stephanie Warner's class at a Brooklyn elementary school, let's hope she can hold it for a while!
The fifth-grade teacher has enacted a new policy to keep kids sitting at their desks and out of the bathroom. At the start of each week, the teacher hands out three bathroom passes to each student in the class. The kids then have three windows throughout the day during which they can use the vouchers to visit the restroom.

According to one of the students, the teacher started the new program "because some kids just go for fun. They just want to skip class."

Available in two designs, the kits fit directly over standard bath tubs, transforming them into either a shiny red fire truck or a purple princess castle. The kid-friendly designs also have safety in mind with built-in seats, grab bars, and spray showers to keep lil ones comfortable throughout their baths. At $2,200, the temporary tub transformations are quite an investment, but can you imagine doing bath time without an argument?
