Bathtime is one of our favorite times to bond with our little ones. It’s usually at the end of the day, after dinner adventures and before bed, so it’s just the kind of wind-down we and our kiddos need. Warm water, bubbles, and splashing (sometimes lots of splashing)—what more could you ask for? Oh, and as a bonus, it’s the perfect time for playing. Which of course means we’re on the hunt for the best baby bath toys.
Bath toys are especially fun because they offer littles a chance to experience different textures and ways to play. Plus, gone are the days of only rubber ducks and boats (though we love those!); there are so many awesome toys to choose from, specifically designed for the bath. But you don’t have to take our word for it! These are the top Amazon toys, according to reviewers. Sure, there are rubber duckies and boats, but there’s also blocks, and balls, and baby bath squirt toys, so you’re sure to find something (or somethings) that’s perfect for your little babes. We’ve got the baby bath toys parents are loving right here!
Duck Tubing Floating Bath Toys
Three connecting tubes, three rubber ducks, and a mold-free design! These ducks are ready to play.
Amazon Review: I wanted some floating bath ducks that weren't “squirters” so that they wouldn’t mold. These are a nice size (bigger than expected), good quality, and super cute! My girls love to also put other bath toys on the “duck train”. -BrookeMarie
KaledioCubes Stack & Squeeze Blocks
This 9-pack of blocks are brightly colored and covered with letters and numbers, so they'll grow with your babes!
Amazon Review: After screening numerous baby block listings (many of which claim to be hole/mold-free but are not), I was thrilled to finally discover a truly hole-free set. I have cleaned these blocks in the dishwasher (top rack) several times, so far without issue. I look forward to using them as bath toys and not having to worry about mold growth. -K.Cox
Green Toys Paddle Boat and Tugboat Combo
Boats are a classic bath toy, and this set from Green Toys have little pour spouts and don't have any BPA!
Amazon Review: As always green toys remains one of our favorites. They're great size and usually bigger than expected. They're made of recycled materials which is another plus and I can't say enough about the durability of these toys. They can get tossed around and still look great. The paddles on the boat really move and there's a spout on them both that you can pour water out of. -Tiffany Sprouse
Munchkin Bath Numbers & Letters
36 floating letters and numbers in bright, kid-friendly colors!
Amazon Review: My 18 month old loves these, the first set I bought, he had thrown them all over the house and I couldn't find most of them lol, I bought a 2nd set and keep it in with his bath toys. These suction really well to my tile bath wall. When he bites on them, they do leave teeth marks that will not come out. Also the set only includes 1 of each letter and number so spelling anything isn't really possible if you need more than 1 of the same letter lol. All in all, these are decent for the price. They are pretty sturdy and haven't ripped, so you don't have to worry about you kid boring a chunk out of one. -Brandie L.
Munchkin Float & Play Bubbles
This set includes 2 fun ocean friends and two twirly rattles. The characters move freely around the bubbles, and the textured rings float!
Amazon Review: So I’m a stickler for bath toys without holes in them. I didn’t know so well for my first child who is now almost 13….. but I learned over time with my others. I bought these for my 8 month old as he’s into little noises and things for bath since he’s sitting up. When I got these they didn’t even make it into the bath for the first few weeks, he sat playing with them on the floor with his toys and loved them as is! They are perfect size, the rattle noise inside isn’t loud and obnoxious it’s actually kind of a lull soothing noise, the objects inside keep him entertained even still. Now that they’ve been in the bath, they haven’t leaked any water in, they float well and are fun! Happy I bought these. -Erica Mara

Munchkin Arctic Polar Bear
He's going fishing and your little one can help! The floating polar bear holds 4 fish rings on each leg.
Amazon Review: This is larger than I thought it would be, in a good way! It’s very durable and the rings are large enough to not be a choking hazard for smaller children. I love that water can’t get into the toy and mold. I wasn’t going to review this, but it impressed me! -108

The gang's all here! Blue, Magenta, and Slippery Soap are ready for bathtime.
Amazon Review: They don’t hold water so no stress about mold!! They are great bath toys! -Corey Diesz
Cloud & Droplet Silicon Bath Toys
You can open and close these cute toys for easy cleaning, plus they're ergonomically designed for little baby hands!
Amazon Review: I purchased these in a high-end shop while on withy husband. I was pumped to find the exact same product on Amazon and purchased a second set. My kids LOVE taking a warm "tub" nightly. So, these are used daily. We are going on a year and we have not had any problems with mold. I love that they are dishwasher safe. I throw them in the dishwasher once a month or so (I have always done this with bath toys). Honestly, I bet I could go longer, they never look or smell dirty. We did have one go missing and found it a few months later sitting in some standing water left in the pool out back, that did mold. So, unless you're not planning on draining your tub at all ever you should have nothing to worry about. This is a wonderful bath toy! -Huntington
Dive Gems Toys
This 12-piece set is colorful and smooth, plus older kids will love them for the pool!
Amazon Review: I ordered these for my daughter when she was 6 months old . My daughter is currently going on 18 months she still loves them ! We use them for bath, at the beach, & pool. -Alyssa Miranda
