Bubbles, Giggles and Bunny-Soft Skin
Bunnykins by Royal Doulton turns bath time into story time with a new bodycare collection proudly made in New Zealand.
There is a particular kind of childhood chaos that happens just before bed.
The bath is too full. The bubbles are everywhere. A small person is refusing to get out. Someone has turned the foam into a beard. And a parent who began the evening trying to get through bath time suddenly realises this ridiculous, wet, ordinary moment is one they will one day miss terribly.
This is the world Bunnykins was made for.
Bunnykins by Royal Doulton is bringing its much-loved storytelling into one of childhood’s most familiar rituals with a new collection of gentle children’s bodycare, proudly made in New Zealand and created to turn everyday bath time into something children, and parents will remember.
The collection extends Bunnykins beyond the table and into another intimate part of family life: warm baths, clean pyjamas, freshly washed hair, bedtime stories and those precious few minutes when the day finally begins to slow down.
Where Gentle Care Meets Childhood Storytelling
Most children’s bodycare begins with what goes into the bottle. Bunnykins begins there too, but it doesn’t end there.
The thoughtfully developed collection uses high-quality ingredients and considered formulations created for everyday care, accompanied by natural fragrance stories and some of Bunnykins’ most charming restored archive illustrations. The range brings together gentle care, softness, comfort and protection with the emotional storytelling that has always distinguished Bunnykins.
Because children don’t remember an ingredient list. They remember the bubbles.
They remember Mum washing their hair. Dad making ridiculous hairstyles with shampoo. The fluffy towel waiting afterwards. The familiar picture on the bottle beside the bath. The smell that, years later, can somehow take them straight back home.
Bath Time in Little Twitching
The bodycare collection draws upon the magical Village of Little Twitching and Royal Doulton’s restored Bunnykins archive.
A bunny splashes happily among mountains of bubbles. Another is tucked into bed. Another quietly prepares for the day. Tiny scenes of ordinary life become tiny stories for children to discover.
It creates something unusual within children’s bodycare: a product can cleanse or moisturise while also becoming part of a child’s imaginative world.
The Bunnykins bodycare range includes shampoo & body wash, nourishing lotion and bath-time gifting, designed to create repeatable family rituals rather than simply another bathroom product.
And importantly, the collection is proudly made in New Zealand, bringing local expertise together with the heritage and storytelling of one of Royal Doulton’s most recognised childhood names.
The Gift That Gets Used
Bunnykins has always had an extraordinary relationship with gifting. For many families, it was the christening gift, the first birthday present or the piece chosen by a grandparent and kept long after childhood ended.
The new bodycare collection brings that tradition into modern family life. A beautifully presented Bunnykins bodycare set can welcome a new baby. It can be given at a baby shower. It can sit beneath the Christmas tree. But unlike a keepsake waiting for a special occasion, it becomes part of everyday life immediately.
The gift becomes the ritual.

Bedtime after bedtime. Until one day the bottle is empty, the child is bigger and somehow another tiny piece of childhood has passed.
Perhaps that is what Bunnykins has understood all along. Childhood isn’t made only from milestones. It is made from repetition. Breakfasts. Baths. Bedtimes. Cuddles. Stories. The tiny rituals children assume will last forever - and parents know won’t.
