Babies and toddlers may not need baths every day, but a few additions can make it an exciting part of their routine. Warm water, some bubbles and a few toys can create a whole new sensory world for them to play in.

But before you dive into buying a whole bunch of bath toys, consider these tips to keep bath time fun and safe for your kiddo:

Avoid squirting toys that can't be disassembled. Classic squirting bath toys have a hard time drying once they get water inside, making them susceptible to mold. Luckily, there are some squirting toys out there that easily come apart for proper drying. You can even put some of them in the dishwasher, like the ones featured on this list.
Choose durable materials. Especially if your little one is teething, you can expect bath toys to go in their mouth at some point. Make sure their bath toys are made of durable, baby-safe materials like food grade silicone or strong plastic so pieces can't break off if bitten or dropped.

With safety (and fun!) in mind, we’ve gathered this list of bath toys that are sure to keep little ones entertained—some of them are even made to support developmental milestones like fine motor skills and imagination. Toss a few of these in, and your child won’t want to leave the tub until their fingertips are as wrinkled as raisins.

Best Bath Toy Storage

All stocked up on bath toys? Gotta have a place to store them all! We recommend opting for a self-draining storage bucket like these ones, which are less susceptible to mold—though you should still rinse them out after every bath, and give the storage bin and all bath toys a good clean every couple weeks.
