Bath toys you can clean (no hidden mold inside)

Our recommendations

Best open-tube builder

Boon Pipes Building Bath Toy Set

You can see every inch of the water path on Boon Pipes. The cost is more loose pieces floating around at the end of the bath.

Worth knowing.

• Boon’s five shapes can be rearranged into a new route every bath
• Lift a tube out of the water and it empties completely
• On most smooth tub walls, the suction cups stick

Best screw-open squirters

Sassy Easy Squeezies 3-Piece Set

Every Easy Squeezie opens, which is the reason to buy this set. Plan on six parts to wash and air-dry each time.

Worth knowing.

• Each of the three tops sprays a different pattern.
• Both halves come apart for washing and drying, and the tops swap between cups.
• Small hands get a good grip on the chunky, textured cups.

Best open-deck boat

Green Toys Ferry Boat with Mini Cars

Cleanup is easy because the ferry’s deck and hull are open all over. Once pouring water gets old, the two cars keep kids busy.

Check price →

Worth knowing.

• No pockets anywhere on the deck or hull for water to sit in
• It can go in the dishwasher for a deep clean
• Recycled plastic that’s tough enough to take a drop

How I narrowed it down

A bath toy is only easy to clean if you can reach the inside, or if there’s no inside at all. We traced the water through each set, from where it pours in to where it runs out, then checked which parts open up and where the toy sits to dry until the next bath.

• Sassy Easy Squeezies model 13050: matched to Sassy’s own page and to the three-piece Amazon offer.
• The Sassy tops really do unscrew and swap, and each piece has to be rinsed and dried separately.
• Sized up Boon Pipes and the Green Toys ferry for reach during cleaning and for how much room each takes when stored.
• Age guidance stays specific to each product rather than one range for all three.
