I have a son that enjoys having all his favorite figurines in his bath with him… trucks, cars, Power Rangers… he is THE most imaginative kid… you’d be surprised how many little men can stand around the perimeter of a bathtub. As he’s drying off, I just put everything inside a plastic stacking bin that I got at the Container Store. Once it’s dried out (the next morning), it gets stored away (though that doesnt always happen) but in the event of company, it’s really easy to hide and at LEAST it’s all in one place.

We have the Frog Pod (and installed it with screws…) and LOVE it. We’ve had it for 3 years or so and it’s still great & everyone loves it when they see it. It’s perfect for us. And the customer service was AWESOME-had some issue with the glue sticking to my 1950s tile (surprised???) : ) Would definitely buy it again.

I love the shower curtain--haven't seen that before. In our house, the kids' share their bathroom when we have guests. Stacie @ newmommyhelp.net’s last blog post...4 Links To Simplify Your Life

I use an old, plastic, slightly melted on one side colander to collect the bath toys. I leave the colander in the tub for the toys to drain and dry. It’s easily moved out of the way if a grown up wants to use the tub sans duckies and boats. There are never more toys than can fit into the colander without spillage when it is moved by a grown up.

We don't keep any toys in the tub/shower. In our linen closet I placed a plastic drawer unit that fits below the lowest shelf. It has 4 drawers, and we keep kids towels/washcloths in the top, and toys in the rest. At bath time I usually limit it to a choice of 4 items. Of course the little cups & containers get way more use than most toys. Hmmm I think it is time to declutter! mary b’s last blog post...Give Peas a Chance

I, too, keep the toys in a bin under the sink. My kids prefer to play with the cap to the shampoo (here’s the link: http://www.methodhome.com/product.aspx?page=513). Believe it or not, it entertains both the 2 year old and the 5 year old. Occasionally, I get out some toys and let them play for a while… But, back in the bin they go after bath time! Keeps the bath ready for the older kiddos to shower and makes it much easier to clean without all that clutter on the edges!

Our first child had tons of bath toys. For some reason, all the relatives on my husbands side got her bath toys for her 1st birthday. We had one of those suction cup mesh bags. I hated that thing! When we moved, I threw out all the nasty squirty toys and kept the rest under the sink. I just gave her a cup and a couple other toys at bathtime. Now, my son has a few toys in a plastic basket with holes in the bottom from the dollar store. After bathtime, he just puts the toys in there and lets it drain.
