Bath toys are more than just way to get your kids to enjoy their baths – they’re also a great way begin good hygiene habits very early in life. The more they enjoy bath time, the more they are likely to enjoy staying clean when they get older. These are the top 5 toys that will help them learn to love their baths.
Top 5 Bath Toys
 |
Boon Frog Pod: Keeping the bathtub clean can be a challenge, but it’s essential when you have little ones. This bright hanging frog keeps kid’s toys clean and safe from mold and mildew. He can attach to the wall via either adhesive strips, suction cups or hardware, and once he’s there, you simply tuck the toys into his back. Kids will love picking up their toys with the scoop that’s attached – especially when it means giving them to their froggy friend. Once they’re inside, the toys are kept clean and dry. There’s also room in the front to store soaps and shampoos. |

Alex Toys Jungle Waterfall: This is one of the best toys for those with smaller tubs, as the entire toy sticks to the walls via suction cups. Several different parts are included, and kids can place the wheels, paddles, and animals in different places. Then they grab their bucket, pour the water from the top and see the moving parts spin! This is a toy that can be configured in many different ways to provide many different fun bath time experiences. It’s also a great way to teach kids about how different mechanics can work together, and to teach them about cause and effect. |

Bilibo Mini: The genius of the Bilibo Mini is that, like the original it’s based off of, it can become something different for every kid, and every time they use it. Is it a boat floating in the water? Or a treasure chest hidden underneath? Have children found an exotic shell, or a seat for their favorite bath time friends? Most of the toys on this list are used exclusively in the water, but this one can be played with as easily in the sand box as the bath tub – or even in the snow! This is a toy that will get a kid’s imagination running. |

Green Toys Tugboat: Green Toys tugboats may look like a traditional tugboat at first glance, but they are truly anything but the norm! Each of these brightly colored boats is made completely out of used milk jugs. Of course they’ve been cleaned, and sterilized, and you’d never know from their shape, but they are truly an environmentally responsible toy. They’re lightweight and float wonderfully, but what we really love is the fact that they’re safe for babies, and older kids love them too. Many bath toys on this list are perfect for either infants or toddlers, but this is one that’s perfect for both. |

Skip Hop Bath Spout Cover: Skip Hop bath spout covers serve two purposes. First and foremost, they protect kids from the sharp edges of a bath spout. Made with rubber that’s both soft and tough, it covers up those edges, and is very easy to adjust and tighten on most spouts. The whale’s blowhole is open, and allows easy access to the shower diverter, while the whale’s tale is hooked to provide an easy way to hang it when not in use. Of course, the second purpose is to provide loads of bath time fun! Even the most skeptical of kids will love to watch the water pour out of their new whale friend. |

Sassy Bathtime Pals: Getting kids excited about bath time is much easier when you have toys that float and squirt. The Sassy Bathtime Pals set comes with 5 toys, each that squirt and float. Kids get a variety of characters with different bright colors, and made from different textures. These are specially made for little hands to easily grasp and squeeze, and are made without PVC, so they’re safe for little ones to chew on.

Edushape Floating Blocks: Kids have tons of fun ways to play with these floating blocks. Each set comes with a floating base, so they can float it along and add shapes to create a structure of their choosing. These blocks also stick to the walls of the tub when wet, so the sky’s the limit for their creations. Parents with multiple children rave about this product, as it requires very little room in the tub if the kids build on the tub walls, and there are plenty of pieces to go around, which helps to prevent sibling squabbles about who gets which toy. |

Munchkin Caterpillar Spillers Stacking Cups: Of the bath toys we’ve included on this list, these may have more functions that all the rest. 7 cups are included – but these are no ordinary cups. They graduate in size, so they’re easy to nest together for easy, compact storage. When spread out, they link together to form a smiling, silly caterpillar. Kids can use these cups for straining, spilling or scooping, or they can stack them into a towering paddle wheel. Each of the cups is labeled between 1-7, so they can also help kids to learn about numbers as they play with these bright, plastic cups. |

Yokidoo Flow ‘N Fill Spout: An automatic play spout attaches to the tub and a gentle flow of water bursts out. Kids love this very interactive toy, as they can use one of three different activity tumblers to play with the water as it comes out. Tumblers can also be stacked, and kids can watch the water run through all of them at once. The set comes with peek-a-boo friends, who float to the top for their own fun. This toy has many adjustable parts, like the swiveling arms, and the spout which also swivels, so kids can truly customize their experience. Pressing the face turns the water on and off. |

Skip Hop Dunck: Taking care of bath toys is one of the unique challenges for parents, but the Skip Hop Dunck is simple to clean – these toys can be washed in the dishwasher. While in the bath tub, kids can use them to pour water all around, they can stack the toys up to create a ducky tower, or they can watch them float around the suds. They’re the perfect size for using as a rinse cup, and one duck full is the perfect amount of water needed to rinse a child’s head. Made with bright, primary colors, younger kids and older kids alike will enjoy these special treasures. |
 |
Boon Scrubble: These toys get kids scrubbing in a hurry with their fun designs and delightful colors. A set comes with interchangeable heads, so kids can learn about different textures and can find the perfect one that feels great on their skin. The bulbs can be filled with water, so once the scrubbing is over, they double as rinsing agents. Just squeeze the bulb and watch the water squirt out. When it’s time to clean, just unscrew the interchangeable bulbs and throw them in the dishwasher. Made with PVC-free materials, parents can rest assured that these are safe products for their little ones. |

Alex Tub Tunes Water Flutes: Kids will think they’re just playing a melodic tune, but these bath toys actually teach important science and musical lessons. Each flute can be tuned by adding water. The more water you add, the more the tune changes. Kids can experiment with different levels of water to find just the sounds they’re looking for, or they can follow the notations on the side of the flutes that accurately show you how much water should be added to hit each note on the scale. Flutes can be played by blowing in them as you would a normal flute, or they can be played like a slide whistle is played. |

Yo Gabba Bath Buddies: Yo Gabba Gabba is one of the most popular shows for children, and for good reason. The silly, sensational characters bring a whole new world alive, and kids can learn important skills and life lessons, while enjoying a funny song at the same time. These Yo Gabba Bath Buddies, which come with 21 nifty pieces per set, were created in that spirit. Kids will love all their favorite characters, which are made out of foam, stick to the tub walls when wet, and can be used again and again. What kid wouldn’t want to take a bath with their favorite TV character friends? |
