Toy Boats and other classic floating toys are another good choice for this age. Babies are able to sit on their own, and are beginning to take the lead in playing with mommy. You have both hands free (when you're not using them to wash your child) so you can easily share some fun, imaginative games.

Kids entering their toddler stage love to play with toys that demonstrate cause and effect and help them understand how things work. The Flow 'N' Fill Spout Bath Toy from Yookidoo Toys satisfies your budding scientist's curiosity with a great set of features. This cool toy sticks to the side of the tub with a strong suction cup. The toy has a shower-maker, a tumbler arm with peek-a-boo action, and a propeller turner. The shower function draws water up from the tub, and your child can enjoy watching the different functions and making them work.

Age 3 to 5

Preschool-age children are quickly changing. Their fine motor skills and communication skills are improving by leaps and bounds, and they love to get their hands on toys that allow them to practice their new abilities.

The Rubba Dub Hoops in the Tub by Alex Toys attaches by a suction cup to the side of the tub or wall, so your kids can shoot some hoops right in the water.
