Bath time is a fun time in our home. My kiddos love to play and splash around in the bath, and I like to sit back and enjoy a few moments of conversation with them before bedtime. But, getting them in the bath – that’s another story! The only thing that helps is agreeing to give a few extra minutes of playtime in the bath. They love their bath toys, and of course they’re non-toxic.
Bath time has always been an important step in our bedtime routine, so I give baths almost daily. For this reason, it’s really important to me that our bath toys contain no toxic substances. Making bath time safe is about more than just finding BPA-free bath toys; I want to make sure our bath toys are free of plastic, BPA, PVC, phthalates, and other toxic substances. Toxic plastic toys can leach chemicals into the bath water, so I try and avoid plastic as much as possible. I want you to do the same, so I’ve put together this list of awesome, fun-inspiring non-toxic bath toys for your kids.

Hevea
Made in Malaysia. Made from natural rubber (latex) from the Hevea tree, all of Hevea’s natural rubber bath toys (and awesome bath mats) contain NO plastic, BPA, petroleum, phthalates, PVC, or artificial additives. Any pigments used are plant-based and/or food-grade, though most of their toys are pigment-free and just made from natural rubber. Their simple line of bath toys features characters such as a rubber duck (that’s actually made of rubber), a frog, and a fish. Your baby will enjoy lots of pretend play with these characters.
As a bit of a germophobe, I love that their bath toys are hermetically sealed (i.e. they don’t have those annoying holes in them) so there’s no concern over them growing mold inside. Hevea’s products are high quality and will last you a long time. I highly recommend these for non-toxic bath toys!
CaaOcho Bath Toys
Made in China. Also made with 100% natural latex rubber, CaaOcho Bath Toys are another great option for safer bath toys. Much like Hevea’s line of bath toys, CaaOcho toys are free of BPA, phthalates, PVC, and plastic. Their toys come in a variety of engaging and stimulating colors, and the company uses only food-grade water-based paints.
Fat Brain Toys
Made in China. Though their toys are manufactured in China, Fat Brain Toys makes some pretty cool and creative toys. (They also feature a large selection of toys that are made in the USA.) Their pipsquigz are a big hit in our home; they’re the only toy I’ve added to this list because they are 100% silicone. Other Fat Brain Toys bath toys are still lots of fun in the bath, but are made with plastic so I’ve left them off the list.

MAMA TIP: Another fun thing I’ve recently started doing is reading to my kids in the bathtub. It’s a great way to get some extra reading time in every day. Be sure to check out my list of the top 25 books for babies.
In addition to buying non-toxic bathtime toys, another way to make bathtime fun is to add natural bath bombs for kids. These can be fun and functional (not to mention fizzy!).
