The touch-free faucet for kids 3 to 7. Ships in December.

One payment. No app. No subscription. US shipping included.

PRE-ORDER · SHIPS IN DECEMBER

Hands are the handle.

A touch-free faucet attachment for kids ages 3 to 7. Sprout screws onto the bathroom faucet you already have and brings the water 5 inches closer. Hands under, water on. Hands away, water off.

TOUCH-FREE · FOR KIDS 3 TO 7

You've become part of the faucet.

4 to 8 potty trips a day, and you turn the handle on and off for every one. That's up to 16 turns a day before meals and teeth even start. The Kid Faucet hands the job back: hands under, water on. Hands away, it stops.

THE STEP AFTER THE STOOL

You bought the stool. You're still the faucet.

A stool gets them up. It doesn't get them to the handle. The Kid Faucet brings the water 5 inches closer and turns on for their hands, so all they reach for is the water.

Every faucet in your house was built for a grown-up. This one was built for them.

On by hands. Off by itself.

Hands under, the water runs. Hands away, it stops. No handle to reach, and nothing left running.

30 seconds, then it stops.

No run lasts longer than 30 seconds. When they pull back to scrub, the water stops too: the CDC's turn-off-the-tap step, done for them.

Warm, set by you.

You set the temperature at the faucet. They turn the water on with their hands, without moving the lever. The ring turns red if the water runs too warm.

It isn't your kid. It isn't you. It's the faucet.

Their hands are the switch.

Most kids can wash their own hands by 3 or 4.¹ They can soap, scrub and rinse. What they can't do is reach a handle that was put there for you.

Most bathroom counters stand 34 to 36 inches high. A 3- or 4-year-old can reach about 36 inches up at most,³ and that's with nothing in the way. The handle has a whole sink in the way. It sits at the back of the counter, past the basin.

So every wash starts the same way. "Mom! Water!" You come in. You turn it on. You stand there. You turn it off.

After the potty. Before dinner. After the garden. Before bed.

Do the math on the potty alone: 4 to 8 trips a day,⁴ on and off each time. That's up to 16 turns of the handle a day, and 5,840 a year. Not one of them was theirs.

Somewhere along the way, you became part of the faucet.

Try this tomorrow: every time you turn the faucet on or off for someone else, put a tally mark on the mirror. Count them at bedtime.

The Kid Faucet takes you out of the faucet. Their hands turn it on. It turns itself off. Hands are the handle now.

The water and the switch. Finally, in the same place.

Gets them up. Doesn't get them to the handle. Even standing on one, short arms still have to lean past the basin to reach the lever.

Grown-up sensor adapters.

Touch-free, but made for grown-ups. They don't bring the water any closer, and most run 45 seconds to 3 minutes before they stop on their own.

A new touchless faucet.

$150 or more, plus a plumber. It turns on for hands, but the spout stays where it was: at the back of the sink, out of their reach. And if you rent, the faucet isn't yours to replace.

Two short runs. No handle to reach. You stay close; they control the water.

Set by you: Set the temperature with your faucet’s lever and check the water before each wash. Sprout controls the flow, not the temperature. The ring turns red if the water runs too warm.

They're ready at 3. The faucet never was.

None of these sources has tested or endorsed the Kid Faucet. They describe the problem it was built for.

“Between the ages of 3 and 4, most children can wash their hands independently.”
Happiest Baby, on age

The skill is there. The handle isn't.

“Wet your hands… turn off the tap, and apply soap.”
CDC, on the steps

Step two, done for them. Hands away, the water stops.

Sensor (electric-eye) faucets are preferred at children's sinks.

What child care chooses for kids' sinks, now at yours.

“…you will still need to help them turn it on.”

That's the gap the Kid Faucet closes.

Made for the next “I did it.”

Adult sinks put the water and the handle out of reach of little hands. Even with a stool, turning the water on can still be a job for you.

Sprout brings the water closer and puts the sensor right beneath the spout. Hands under, water on. Hands away, water off. No reaching for the lever, and no run longer than 30 seconds.

You stay close while they learn. They get to do more themselves. One small change at the sink, with room for a little more independence.

Made for little hands.

For all the little washes in their day.

  • After the potty.4 to 8 times a day. Hands under, rinse, done. No one has to come and turn it on.

  • Before dinner.You're getting dinner on the table. The water's on for their hands and off when they leave.

  • In from outside.Muddy hands go to the water, not the handle. Nothing to wipe off the lever after.

  • Bedtime teeth.Wet the brush, brush, rinse, by the blue light. The water stops while they brush.

Give them the whole wash.

At 6 washes a day, $59 works out to less than 3¢ a wash in the first year.

The hands-off guarantee.

Give it 60 days. If your kid still needs you to run the water, send it back and we'll refund every cent, return shipping included. One email. No questions.

Not sure it fits? If it doesn't fit your faucet, we'll send the right adapter or refund you in full.

Parents ask.

Will it fit my faucet?

If the tip of your faucet has a small mesh cap that unscrews, it fits. The Kid Faucet screws on in its place. Caps hidden inside the spout come out with the key in the box. Pull-down sprayers, waterfall spouts and wall-mounted faucets won't work. Not sure? Tap "Will it fit my faucet?" and you'll know in 30 seconds.

How long does it take to put on?

About 5 minutes. Unscrew your aerator, screw on the Kid Faucet, set the lever to warm. No plumber, nothing drilled, no tools beyond the key in the box.

My kid already has a stool. Why do I need this?

Keep the stool. It gets them up. The Kid Faucet brings the water to them and turns it on for their hands. Together, that's the whole wash.

Is it a faucet extender?

It does what an extender does: it brings the water 5 inches closer. Then it does the three things an extender can't. It turns the water on for their hands, turns it off when they leave, and stops every run at 30 seconds.

Why $59 when an extender costs $10?

An extender moves the water. It doesn't turn it on, turn it off, cap the run or leave the temperature lever where you set it, so someone still works the handle every wash. The other way to get a faucet their hands can run is a new touchless one: $150 or more, plus a plumber, and the water still isn't in their reach. At 6 washes a day, $59 comes to under 3¢ a wash in the first year.

Will it turn on by itself?

It's built to react to hands right under the tip. Even if something sets it off, it can't run longer than 30 seconds. No false starts in our home testing.

What stops them from playing with the water?

Every run stops at 30 seconds, and the ring turns amber. To start again, their hands have to come away for 2 seconds. Every new run is a choice, not a stream, and amber tells you from the doorway when a wash has turned into a game.

Can the water get too hot?

Yes. Sprout controls the flow, not the temperature. Set the water to warm using your faucet’s lever and check it before each wash. If the water runs above 110°F, the ring turns red. The light is a warning; it does not cool the water.

How long does a charge last?

3+ months at 8 washes a day. The ring blinks when it's time. Charge it over USB-C in about 2 hours.

How do I know when to charge it?

The ring blinks when it’s time to charge. Recharge Sprout over USB-C; a full charge takes about 2 hours.

Can grown-ups use the sink normally?

Hands under works for anyone. For longer jobs, like filling the basin, the parent button on the back gives 2 minutes of running water. It hangs 1.9 inches below your faucet, so there's still room for grown-up hands.

What ages is it for?

3 to 7: old enough to wash alone, too short to reach the handle. Younger kids can use it with you right beside them.

Won't they outgrow it?

Yes, and that's the point. It covers the years between "I can wash" and "I can reach": about 3 to 7. At 6 washes a day, that's more than 8,000 washes you don't have to run. After that, it unscrews in a minute and your old aerator goes back on. Or you could wait until they're taller: that's 3 more years of being called to the sink.

Shouldn't they learn to use the real handle?

They will, when their arms get there. What they can learn at 3 is the wash itself: wet, soap, scrub, rinse, dry. The Kid Faucet lets them practice all of it every day, years before they can reach the lever.

Do I still need to watch them?

Yes. It's a faucet, not a babysitter. Stay close to little ones at the sink, as you would anyway.

Does it work for brushing teeth?

Yes. Wet the brush, hands away, and the water stops while they brush. Hands under to rinse.

Do hands touch the faucet at all?

No. Hands under, hands away. Nobody touches the faucet, before the wash or after it.

We rent. Is that a problem?

No. Nothing is drilled or replaced. Keep your old aerator in a drawer and screw it back on when you move.

Is there an app or a subscription?

No app, no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, no subscription. One payment.

Will it leak?

It seals with a rubber washer, the same way your aerator does.

Will it change my water pressure?

It flows at 1.2 gallons a minute, in a soft aerated stream. That's what most newer bathroom faucets flow. On an older, faster faucet, the stream will feel a little gentler. It works on home water pressure from 20 psi up.

Is it lead-free?

Yes. Certified lead-free to NSF/ANSI 372.

Does it save water?

For example, a 45-second wash with the faucet left running at 1.5 gallons a minute uses about 1.1 gallons. Two 10-second runs with Sprout at 1.2 gallons a minute use about 0.4 gallons. Actual use depends on how long the water runs.

How do I clean it?

Wipe it with a damp cloth. The screen in the tip twists out for a rinse.

When does it ship?

Ships in December. You can cancel any time before it ships for a full refund. If the shipping date changes, we’ll email you, and you can cancel for a full refund.

What if it doesn't work for us?

Give it 60 days. If your kid still needs you at the sink, send it back for a full refund.

Hands are the handle.

Water within reach. Hands under, water on. Hands away, water off. Every run stops within 30 seconds. A little more independence, every day.
