I need to pare down the toys in our tub area... it's getting a bit crowded in there! We've cut way down on toys in every other room in the house, but haven't gotten to the bath tub yet.
Is your tub filled with bath toys?
-
We have letters, books, stacking cups and ducks.
-
completely filled. It's crazy! We bought one of those things that sits across the tub and it holds most of them. The others are in those suction cup bags that hang off the wall.
-
we have stacking cups, a submarine, and a rubber duck. but these days i usually shower with him (he's 1.5 years old), where there are no toys and doesn't seem to need them.
-
Fortunately, no. We have two rubber duckies in there, but he only gravitates towards one of them. The toothbrush and the cup we use to pour water on him are his other "toys".
-
We have about 6 toys, but I bought one of those scoop-holder things that attaches to the wall. At the end of every bath, I scoop up the toys and hang it on the wall.
-
This thing.
-
@Anagram: We have something similar and we can't get it to stay on the wall. Do you use the suction cups or the more permanent sticky things?
-
@ShootingStar: it came with 3m sticky strips. Suction cups don't work on our tile at all.
-
No, I got tired of cleaning them all the time so no toys for us (mean mommy). Bath toys get grimey so quickly!
-
@Anagram: Yeah we have one of those bathroom surrounds (not tile) in DS' bathroom and the suction cups only last for an hour or so. I've been kind of worried to use the sticky strips because I didn't want that thing on the shower permanently.
-
@ShootingStar: oh, I use 3m strips all over the house and haven't ever had a problem getting them off, so I didn't think twice about it.
-
I lay them on a towel on the changing table to dry then toss them all in a basket underneath. I used to have a thing IN the shower that they supposedly dried in but they didn't, and grew mold. gag.
-
Nope. D is too old and M is too young.
-
We have a little hammock thing for them, but they only sometimes get put away, so yes, sometimes it is.
-
I repurposed a 1.5 gal ice cream bucket for tub toys. Super fancy.
-
@Anagram: That's a cool scoop! Do the toys get mildew-y/smelly from sitting in there wet every day? Or since they're getting used everyday, that's not an issue?
-
@Meridian: so far they haven't! But we've only had it a month. I think one good thing about that bathroom is that LO is the only one that really uses it, so it's not wet all the time in there.
-
We have hard water so we only have disposable bath toys!! Only a few in there at once. Or things I can easily put into the dishwasher like measuring cups.
-
we have a green toys tea set that isn't necessarily a bath toy, but there's nothing about them that could get moldy. And I run them through the dishwasher as needed. We also have a boon bath puzzle but that doesn't get as much action as the tea set. we also have 2 different bath stacking cups. Everything sits on the bath ledge until they're dry (by the time toweling off, pjs, and bedtime routine is over. I throw them into a container that sits right next to our tub for the next day. Every week or so, I run them through the dishwasher.
-
We used to but a lot of them molded so I tossed them.
