Best Bath Toys of 2022

As far as baby bath toys go, I can’t get enough of the Yookidoo baby bath mobile. This sensory toy provides gentle mental stimulation and distraction during bath time. I love that the water feature helps desensitize your baby to water spray in a fun way.

The mobile fits a wide variety of tubs, grows with your baby into toddlerhood, and stays out of the way for when the rest of the family need a shower.

It’s easy to keep clean. It’s entertaining for the baby during bath time. A bonus is that you don’t need to collect lots of small parts to put away afterward.

My favorite toddler bath toys are this take on foam letters. I love that it gives you a variety of skills to develop. Using their motor skills, toddlers can catch the floating toys and practice sticking them to the walls and side of the tub.

Just like with a foam alphabet, you can help your child learn the different names of the animals, their numbers, and colors. It’s a great spin on a classic bath toy. They won’t even realize they’re learning.

My kids love books, and I believe you can never provide them with too many. Bath time is as good a time as any to push reading.

My favorite bath book set is this collection of books from BabyBibi. I like the different learning opportunities they provide for children. If your baby is at a place where color and objects are still new, these books are great.

If, however, your child has already mastered those skills, there’s enough artwork in this collection to focus on counting. The art is eye-catching and the books are made out of quality materials.

The set includes three of the most favorite bath time toys; white hot bath safety duck, scuba swimming bath toy, and little boat train. This is your simple and classic yellow rubber ducky for the bath.

What I love about it, though, is that it doubles as a safety precaution — it’s a thermometer in disguise. If the water is too hot for your baby, the word “HOT” appears in white on your yellow ducky.

You have enough worries to contend with during bath time. Thanks to this little toy, the temperature of the water doesn’t have to be one of them.

All of them will be useful for both parents and little tots.

Kids love music. They also love dipping in water. It doesn’t get much better than a toy that can bring both of those together at bath time.

This music maker from Munchkin is rust-resistant and has passed rigorous safety testing. What do I love best about it, though? I can have this as a gift for my kids or have this given to my nieces as it comes in a ready-to-gift packaging

The set includes a dingray xylophone, octodrum rhythm toy, and 2 starfish shakers.

If you are looking for an interactive bath toy that encourages motor skills development, this might be the one for you.

The Spin n Sort Spout provides lots of fun at bath time. It has 10 different water activities to keep your little one occupied and challenged as you wash them before bed. With three interchangeable bath cups, the toy uses bath water to create different water effects such as spraying, straining and floating.

Your little one can also play with each part, whether that’s just in the water or learning how to stack and store the pieces. It’s suitable for babies from nine to 36 months.

Nothing is going to help develop those fine motor skills faster than writing implements. If you’re looking to encourage little ones to work on fine motor skills, bath crayons are a low-pressure way to do it.

These crayons are toxin-free and wipe clean from the walls after bathtime murals are complete. They come in a great variety of colors and won’t irritate sensitive skin. Go ahead and let your little ones practice holding those crayons.

Here’s another safety measure, thinly veiled as a toy. Have you ever watched your little one hit their head on the faucet or end up with a face full of water? If you have, I don’t need to tell you why I love this little whale so much.

In a matter of moments, this rubber covering slips over the faucet and covers hard edges.

Easy enough for you to remove — but not easy for little fingers to interfere with — and BPA-free, there’s really no reason to pass this up.

I love that this fishing set comes with two fishing rods. Instead of fighting over who gets to use the fishing rod next, your kids can get right to the fishing.

This is a great activity to improve hand and eye coordination, and practice patience. The colors in this set are attractive and fun, and the materials used in its construction are soft, durable silicone. This set has passed safety testing, is toxin-free, and easily cleaned.

Foam bath letters are a classic bath toy for a reason. They provide a great opportunity to introduce colors, sounds, and other early reader skills. These letters are safety tested, float, and stick easily to the tub or bathroom walls.

This letter set includes numbers 0–9 as well. Perfect for little fingers to trace and identify, this is a bath toy that’s more than just fun. It’s a great educational tool that you can sneak in under the radar.
