6 Must-Have Toys That Will Have Your Toddlers Begging to Hop in the Bathtub

This submarine is anything but subpar. It's a simple but fun toy that will provide endless entertainment while your littles encounter "underwater adventures" above water in their bath. The submarine, which is made of recycled plastics, floats nicely on top of the water. The hatch can be pulled open, so your twins can find (or hide) treasures inside of the hull. Water can seep in through the windows, which would be fearsome if there were any crew members aboard, but instead, it's awesome, because when you tip the sub forward, a cascade of water comes streaming out of the nose of the sub, transforming this toy into a tool for rinsing sudsy hair. This toy is phthalate- and BPA-free and can be tossed into the dishwasher for easy cleaning.

This set of high-quality, waterproof tub stickers is wrinkle-free, so it'll stand up to repeated play in water. They're made of a thick and durable, rip-resistant foam, so they cling to the tub or shower wall when they're wet. Rated for kids aged three and up, this toy enables your kiddos to practice their hand-eye coordination skills, encourages your children to recognize characters and colors as they play, and has them try their own hand at telling stories. This activity set comes with eight bath-friendly foam pieces that feature Paw Patrol characters, one waterproof bath crayon, and a mesh storage bag, so everything can air out nicely after bathtime. This fun set is also available in versions that feature characters from Spidey and Frozen.

Rated for children who are two years and older, this toy set includes one magnetic fishing rod and three underwater bobbing characters (a diver, an octopus, and a fish). The bobbing activity helps your toddlers develop their hand-eye coordination skills, plus, it's just plain fun to see what they'll catch. The characters float with magnets on top of the water, which makes for easy, fun fishing. If you're worried about mold or mildew growth, rest assured, the characters are air-tight, so this set is all set for the long haul of bathtub duty.

These bath potions combine learning and play, making bathtime entertaining and educational. The bright colors and bubbling effects offer a fun and easy way to explain chemical reactions to your little ones. Sparking curiosity and imagination, these bath bombs are easy to use: just add water to the beaker, watch the colorful magic unfold, and add more water to keep the fun going. The potions dissolve completely, so clean-up is quick and easy. They're made with gentle, food-safe ingredients, like baking soda and citric acid, which are both non-toxic (perfect for the sensitive skin that kiddos tend to have) and skin-friendly, so you can kick back knowing your children's skin is protected while they have fun. This set comes with six bright, colorful bath potions that feature cute cartoon designs.

While it might seem simple, this sensory toy packs a serious educational punch (but not TOO serious because it's fun). It's easy to operate, which makes it enticing for little ones and their little fingers. It has a spoon that can pour water over the unit, which then causes the bear to spit out the water. That stream of water moves the gears underneath to create a beautiful, cascading waterfall that will delight your wee ones. Experimenting with this toy allows babies and toddlers to learn simple mechanical movement and enhance their hand-eye coordination while they're at it.

Their imagination will be tickled...or, should I say, "tentacled"? This cute and brightly colored bath toy encourages interactive play. The floating octopus comes with three rings that can be placed onto its tentacles, and the whole thing was designed to help your little ones develop their hand-eye coordination and stimulate their senses. Vibrant colors and differing textures on the octopus and the included rings engage your children's senses, while the different characters help them recognize shapes. This toy is made from soft and flexible materials that are BPA-free, and it's also thoughtfully designed to help avoid mold-growth, which is nice.

This bath toy organizer will allow you to hang all your toddlers toys in the air, suspended in the corner, so they can dry out as needed between baths. This keeps toys off of the floor AND the bottom of the tub. It's made of a mesh fabric that allows for easy airflow and quick dry times. Two strong, non-slip suction cups firmly adhere to most smooth bath or shower surfaces, so you don't have to worry about it slipping down until you're ready for it to come down.
