Splish Splash, the Best Bath Toys for Toddlers!

One of the most overlooked play areas in the home is the bathtub! Bathtime provides a great opportunity for kids to learn and play while washing up before bedtime. Plus, a daytime bath is a great way to break up the day and entertain a bored or cranky toddler.

To make bathtime successful, we recommend having a small collection of bath toys for your child. We’ve compiled a few of our favorites below. Add a few of these to your routine, and your child won’t want to leave the bathtub until long after their fingers are wrinkly.
