How do you store bath toys?

I bought one of those nets that suction to the tiles, but it never stays. Also the toys get stuck in the holes of the net and are hard to get out. DS has so many and storing them in his tub is not a good option for us.

I was thinking of buying a cheap dollar store plasic laundry basket, a circular one, and having DH just drill some holes on the bottom so the water can drain.

anyone have a better idea?


This is similar to the one we have

I use the Boon ladybug. Works very well! The only issue with it is that you can't fit very big toys into it since it is kind of narrow.

Ive seen those they are super cute, but I havent seent the frog one. I also would need if for bigger toys, but is the suction good on that, the one I have keeps falling off the tiles.Chat Icon It scares the crrap out of me when it falls

It's soooo annoying!

Maybe the suction cups don't work on 1950s tile Chat Icon

It's not suction, it comes with screws or a tape option. We used the tape on the tile and it has been on for 10 months now with no problem.

Re: How do you store bath toys?

We use a mesh bag like the one you've pictured but without the animals. Just plain suction cups. And have no problems. The load is getting pretty heavy with toys and bath books and it's still good. DS grabs on it when he helps put his toys away.

Make sure your tile is clean and dry before you attach it. As well as the suction cups. Maybe a little rubbing alcohol. Try licking the back of the suction cup before you put it on and be sure to press any air bubbles out. You can also put the suction cups through the top rack of the dishwasher to give them a "new life".

We have a holder, but since she takes a bath in our bathroom which has a separate tub and shower, we just leave them in the tub Chat Icon

Bed Bath and Beyond sells a plastic handheld bathtub caddy and I use that. It has holes in the bottom and sided for airflow and for draining.
