Kids love to play with toys in the bath, and we love the way they keep minis occupied while they have a much-needed soak. But when the splish-splashing is done, that sea of toys needs somewhere to live, which is why convenient bath toy storage is such a sanity saver.
Leaving a pile of toys in the bottom of a wet tub overnight is a fast-track to mouldy bath toys. Clever bath toy storage units give your squirt’s favourite playthings a designated spot to dry out so that they’re organised, clean and ready for tomorrow’s splash-a-thon.

3 Sprouts

Munchkin

IKEA
