You can see my top two picks and the storage bag in the video here, or read on for an in-depth review of each of the picks:
Happiest shower figures: Tomy Octopals
I couldn't pass up this article on the cutest shower toys without mentioning these cute figures.
They are Tomy's Octopals and they can stick to your wall.
They are also suitable for a bath if you also have a bath because they can also float in addition to sticking. Nice to give to your little one.
You can also easily use them as toys for the water table or any other place where you play with water, such as an outside bath.
They can soak themselves with water and spray quite a bit when you squeeze them. That is always fun to do with your child!
I have to say that sticking it on the wall can be quite difficult for a small child, you have to understand how to do it and I had to help myself.
This can sometimes be frustrating for a toddler, but from a toddler they can do it better themselves. But if you don't mind helping, it's fun for a toddler too.
Furthermore, my son just really likes to count them and put them back on the platform one by one and then take them away again. He is now almost two years old.

Do shower toys need to be cleaned?
You will probably not always realize that bath toys can get very dirty and must be cleaned after each use.
Your child has finished bathing, the shower is turned off and you dry him or her thoroughly. The clean clothes are fished out and your child is dressed.
You take the bath toys out of the shower and throw them back in the toy basket.
Many people think that because bath and shower toys are always in soap and water, these types of toys do not need to be cleaned and can be stored after use.
But unfortunately, appearances can be deceiving! Soap residues or even skin flakes from the water can adhere to or in the toys. And so mold naturally develops.
You probably know from experience that children like to put toys in their mouth.
Especially for this reason, it is important to realize that (shower) toys are not as clean as they seem.
It is therefore certainly worthwhile to give the bath and shower toys a (thorough) cleaning every now and then.
How do I quickly clean shower toys?
After bathing, immediately rinse the toys under the tap to remove the soap residue.
Discard the water from all buckets and watering cans, and in the case of rubber ducks or other toys that absorb water, squirt the water out.
Then dry each toy carefully and let it be explained.
Buy a net (such as the Baby Shower Bath toy storage bag suction cup baby bathroom) in which you can store the toys or else boxes with holes at the bottom so that water can drain and the toys can dry.
How do I thoroughly clean shower toys?
Thorough cleaning of shower toys should also be done, but not after every play turn. We recommend doing this about 4 times a year.
You can use soda or soap for this. Avoid using bleach or other chemicals, as children often put toys in their mouths.
Wipe the toys with the soapy water you made. You can also soak it in the soapy water overnight.
Then rinse the toy with water and pat it dry. Some toys are suitable for the dishwasher or the washing machine.
In case you use the washing machine, it is wise to put the toys in a (lingerie) bag and use a hand wash program.
Do you find mold or lime on the toy, but is your child so attached to the toy that saying goodbye is not an option?
Then again use soapy water with soda or mild soap and submerge the toy in it. Leave it on for about 15 minutes.
Then take an old toothbrush and scrub the toys. Then rinse with water and dry or drain the toy.
If the toy has not been properly cleaned, it is still wiser to throw it away.
What can you do if your child is panicking in the shower?
There are simply kids who panic when they have to take a bath or shower.
In such a case, it is especially important that you are very patient as a parent and do not force anything. There will really come a point when the child has overcome the fear.
Try to understand what makes your child so anxious about taking a shower. Is it the water jets on the head or shampoo in the eyes?
Is it afraid of 'drowning'? A toy can come in very handy in such situations.
The feeling of fear may disappear by drawing attention to the interesting toy. This way the child can gradually get used to showering or taking a bath.
You could also use a doll to perform the bathing ritual. Is the water nice and warm? Then we first gently put some water on the arms and legs.
Then we wash the hair carefully, now the doll is completely fresh! It is best to teach children things in a playful way, including showering or taking a bath.
Showering has never been so much fun!
Conclusion
For some children, showering is no problem, others really don't want to take a shower without an interesting toy.
In this article you were able to get acquainted with various fun shower toys that are also educational.
Don't forget to keep the toys clean as well.
