The Best Bath Toys

Star Crayon

Splash Toys

These small, smiling pastel animals have some unique features. All four are made of organic cotton terry and a poly fill. With these, you get the best of both worlds: They're soft and plush for little kids, but they also dry quickly—especially when you use the hanging loops on each one.

Octopus Ring Toss

This green octopus attaches to the bath walls with suction, and is fun in a few different ways: First, you can dump water in the top and watch it sprinkle on your baby's head through the tentacles. Then, when your kid's a little older, the octopus and its tentacles become the base for a ring-toss game. Yes, rings are included!
