10 of the best bath toy storage solutions
Keep your bathroom and tub clutter-free with these excellent fast-drying bath toy organisers, recommended by our parent testers
We all want to keep bathtime as fun as possible, but what happens once the bath is empty, and all the toys are taking up precious bathroom space?
What you need is good quality bath toy storage, which keeps your them all in one place while drying quickly to reduce the risk of mildew. As a result of increased moisture, bath toys are prone to bacteria and fungus growth. There are some simple ways to clean your child's bath toys, but it's also important they have airflow to drain post-bathtime.
With that in mind, we’ve used recommendations from our parent testers to pick the most convenient and attractive bath storage products for scooping up toys and keeping your bathroom clutter-free.

It's a bath toy storage solution that came highly recommended from our MFM testers. Tester and mum Lucy said: “I’ve seen a lot of people use this type of storage in their bathroom.

It’s also worth noting that these baskets have comfortable handles that make them easy to carry.

For a simple bath toy storage solution we like this mesh net, which acts as a pocket for all your child's bathtime essentials, made with polyester edging and large suction cups.
The fast-drying polyester edging is a win, plus its good air circulation and fast draining effect prevents bacteria and mould from growing inside toys.
This storage net is also multifunctional – it could be used to store any sponges, kids' shampoo or brushes you may have.

The nifty bath handles on this drying bin allow you to scoop toys out the bath, which can then easily drip out the bottom through the draining holes.

We love this design due to its 2-in-1 function, working as both a skid-resistant bath mat and storage basket with suction cups that stick to the bath or wall.
As a bathmat, this charming turtle-shaped product is suitable for use from 3 months. To store toys, fold it into a basket to keep them all together as they dry out from the draining holes whilst stuck to the wall.

10. Munchkin Corner Bath Organiser, £6.97
– best for a neat storage solution
Material type: Neoprene
We like this toy organiser’s adjustable suction cups that firmly hold to your bath wall and work to avoid grout lines. It’s important to note its mildew resistant material, along with the drain hole on the bottom and netted front that allows toys to quickly air dry.
Due to its wide mouth kids will find it easy and fun to put all their toys away. It's slightly smaller than some other bath organisers, so if you’ve got an impressive collection of toys, big and small, it's wiser to go for a bigger model. However if you're after a neat storage solution that's tucked away, this would be ideal.
