Bath toys – sustainable fun in the tub and pool
For many children there’s nothing better than splashing around – whether in the bathtub or paddling pool. Bath toys add to the fun and support motor development. Our selection includes colourful rubber animals, stacking cups, boats and squirting figures made from safe materials such as natural rubber, silicone or recycled plastic. These are free from BPA and phthalates and meet strict safety standards. Small openings allow water to drain after play, preventing mould. Pair the toys with soft bath towels and practical bath accessories to complete the experience.
Materials & quality
The longevity of bath toys depends heavily on the material. Natural rubber is elastic, pleasant to touch and biodegradable. Silicone is particularly hygienic, easy to clean and withstands high temperatures. Recycled plastics conserve resources and are robust. Avoid thin PVC or foam products as they may contain plasticisers. Look for transparent material declarations and certifications such as the CE mark. Our toys have smooth surfaces and no sharp edges, preventing injuries. Replaceable parts mean defective components can easily be swapped.
Care, cleaning & storage
Bath toys should be thoroughly cleaned after each use. Rinse them with clear water and let them dry completely. For toys with openings, shake out the water to prevent germs. Some products can be cleaned in warm water with mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals that attack the material. Store toys in a mesh bag or on a shelf so they are well ventilated. Smaller items can also be transported in a bag when you go to the pool.
Play ideas & sustainable gift options
Bath toys stimulate imagination. With boats and cups children learn to pour and experiment with water. Animal figures can tell stories and help overcome fear of water. For older children there are bath books or foam puzzles. Choose sustainable products that last for years and can later be passed on to siblings. A set with several pieces makes a great gift, perhaps together with a cosy bath towel. This way the fun in the bath will be remembered for a long time without creating unnecessary waste.
