How do you store your bath toys?

thechickencoop · January 2013

So LO got a lot of bath toys for Christmas. We only had a few before so I kept them in this little bucket he had with holes in the bottom but now there's way too many to fit! What do you guys use? I've seen the type that go across the tub, the corner nets, and the suction basket things (that looks like whales, etc), so what does everyone prefer? FYI our tub is the one-piece fiberglass kind so no tiles, etc.

They just hang out in the tub. DH and I have a different shower that we use, so the tub is just for DS.

We use a suction cup net thingie. I think it was munchkin brand. It was like 5 bucks at BRU.

We just leave them in the tub. I clean them really well once a week or so but DH and I use our master bathroom for showers so I just close the curtain and don't think of it!

I don't mean to hijack the post, but what do you use to clean your bath toys? I bleached the tub and toys last week b/c I thought DS had a yeast infection. Now some of the toys feel sticky, so I haven't let DS play with them again.

I don't even use bath toys for DD. She has a blast with a wash cloth and the cup I use to rinse her head.

With DS I had the net thing.

Vinegar is good for disinfecting and probably wouldn't leave stickiness...I feel better using vinegar for anything that goes in DD's mouth.

my mom got us a suction basket that looks like a monkey. We unfortunately have a tub surround that this wont stick to so it just sits at one end of our tub with the toys in it but it stays out of the way there.

Boon Frog Pod bath toy holder. We've had it on our tub for almost 5 years and it's still there. Love it! Walmart.com and target.com have them.

We have this also. The adhesive strips it came with did not stick to our fiberglass tub even though we followed the installation instructions to a T. DH went out and bought the Command Strips to mount it and so far so good!

We ALSO have the penguin Skip Hop mesh net that suctions to the wall.

Bathtime is LO's favorite, so we've got bath toys out the wazoo!

With the penguin net and frog pod combined, all his toys fit.

We have a net with 2 suction cups that stick to the side of the wall. It has a fish and crab on it....I bought it because we had a finding nemo theme for his bathroom. It was like $5 or $6 from BRU.

this won't work in all tubs but I loved this idea...i wish i could find the picture...

Basically, you take an extendable shower curtain rod and attach it to the far side of the tub (next to the wall). Then using the curtain rings and buckets/baskets with holes in them attach to the rod. This way everything drains right into the tub, no mess. and pretty easy/simple to do.

You could have a basket for toys, a basket for shampoo/wash...etc
