    Spin N Sort Spout Bath Toy

    Vanessa M. said:  Cool new bath toys make great gifts for 3 year olds! Stackable cups, an automated spout, and spinning suction cup gears allow kids to create different water effects for endless bathtime fun.

    B. Toys Fish and Splish Bath Toy Set

    Alexandra F. said:  We've had this set of bath toys for about two years now and it still looks good! I'm not kidding - no mold or slimy stuff anywhere, with very little maintenance from me. None of the pieces have any little holes or hidden crevices for water to sneak into, and they are easy to rinse off after the bath. As a bonus, all the toys stack into the big boat for easy clean up, and best of all, my little ones love to pour, fish, float and splash with everything in the set.

    Color-Changing Origami Boats

    Shila said:  These cool bath toys change color in warm water, and also make a good pour toy! They dry well upside down or right-side-up with the tall "sail" keeping moisture from getting trapped and allowing air to flow through.

    Zuru Robo Fish

    Sunshine Girl said:  These little battery operated fish come alive when placed in water. They’re super fun to chase in a pool. They’re also fun in the bathtub or even a faux aquarium that you don’t have to feed.

    Boon Jellies Bath Toys

    Jennie Utsinger said:  These bright plastic "jellyfish" attach to bathtub walls (and each other) with suction cups and are fun bath toys for creative play. Since they're open on the bottom, they don't mold easily as long as you drain them, and ours have maintained their suction for over two years now. My boys have figured out that they also stick to foreheads and bellies!

    Boon Building Bath Pipes

    Shila said:  The hollow pipes, cogs and tubes fit together in various ways, and kids can pour water through to watch it funnel down. These pieces attach to the tub wall using suction cups and can air dry completely on a towel.

    Squigz

    Kelly R. said:  Squigz are silicone building toys that use suction cups to stick to each other, to the windows, to a table, to your forehead...you get the idea. They make excellent mold-free bath toys because they don't take on water, and also work great for entertaining kids on airplanes or road trips.

    Nuby Floating Purple Octopus

    Shila said:  I remember my daughter receiving this small and simple toddler gift, wondering how long it would take for the "ring toss" novelty to wear off, yet this ended up being such a fun bath toy for a toddler! And with virtually no nooks or crevices for water to hide, these floaties sufficiently dried after our baths.

    The First Years Stack N Count Cups

    Kelly R. said:  These simple and cheap stacking cups got a ton of use when my kids were little...more than any of our other baby toys! I love that they make fantastic mold free bath toys, too, as the cups have little holes in them that sprinkle water when you fill them.

    Honeysticks Bath Crayons

    Shila said:  These bath crayons are made from plant-based materials and beeswax, and are fun, non-toxic bath toys that won't mold! Color on the tub walls and wipe clean when you're done. No mess, no problem.
