Entertain your baby in the tub and bath time becomes a joy rather than a chore. Luckily, that’s easy to do with the huge variety of bath toys for babies on the market today.

Sure, we’ve all seen the classic rubber ducky. And they’ll be around generations from now. But how about a pelican instead? Squirt the Pelican is both a toy and a game in one. He’s colorful and when you shoot water into his mouth it fills up a bucket under his beak. Get it full and watch Squirt tip over and squawk. Great fun!

What better place to introduce sailing than the tub? Get a whole fleet of colorful, floating sailboats.[amtap amazon: asin=B0017ZVP2E] Baby will enjoy playing with them while you secretly teach all about different colors and shapes. Great for eye-hand coordination, they’re also an ocean of fun in the bath. Less than 5 inches in size, you can fit half a dozen in the tub with ease.

Kids love to draw, even from a very young age. Even an 18-month old will enjoy Tadoodles Washable Bath Crayons. In the shape of a dog, pig and elephant, these fun creatures turn bath time into a creative experience. Twist the base and watch a crayon pop up. Anything your child draws washes right off. And the little animals float, making them a fun toy for the bath, too.

More creative fun is in store with the 3-in-1 Music Island. Pick up the fish handle and set it down in the tub for a big band bath time. Start the music off with the octopus jingle shaker. Let them bang away on the drum or tap the xylophone and ring out the tub tunes. You’ll laugh as much as the baby does. Comes with music sheets, too, so you can teach while they enjoy.

Want to let the baby explore playing an instrument? There are lots of choices. The Tub Tunes Water Trumpet is unbreakable plastic and makes real music. Or check out any of the five colorful Water Flutes available and watch your baby explore music while having loads of fun. Fill them with water to produce different notes. Comes with waterproof music sheets to make learning fun.

Squeeze a farm animal in the tub and watch the water squirt from a cow, lamb, pig, chicken or horse. Great for developing hand muscles, teaching cause and effect, and just having a grand time in the tub. They contain no harmful compounds and come in lots of colors for maximum fun.
