As a first time mama, there was nothing that freaked me out more than the idea of mold growing in my baby’s bath toys. Yuck! Mold in bath toys can cause your baby or toddler to get super sick, and no mama ever wants that. If you are are trying to find the best mold free bath toys for babies and toddlers, I have you covered. This list of mold free bath toys are great not only for bath time but also for water tables, the pool or the beach.

We live in Florida, so I am always looking for great water toys that we can use in multiple locations to get the most of out the toy purchase. And everything on this list are my go-to’s when it comes to mold free bath toys for my little guy. I love bath toys that are made from great materials, cute design (just wait until you see the cutest little boat in the list) and I wouldn’t be super embarrassed if it was left out in our guest bathroom because it was stylish / clean and a neutral color.

1. GREY + SUN Mold-Free Silicone Squeeze Bath Toy

We LOVE LOVE LOVE these bath toys. They are made of food-grade silicone and are easy to open, toss in the dishwasher and let airy dry. They come with the cutest cotton bag for storage, air drying or travel. We literally take these water toys everywhere we go. We use them not only at bath time, but they have become our go-to water toy for not only, Greyson, who is two but also my niece, Lilly. These two can be found playing with these for hours at the water table or the pool. I love that they are interchangeable, so we use them to work on matching colors. The float so I don’t have to grab them from the bottom of the bath tub or pool and they also squeeze out water.

These books are seriously the cutest and they make a great gift for any baby or toddler who adores reading and bath time.

4. Stacking Boats Mold Free Bath Toy 

These muted color stacking boats are SO cute and have been a long time favorite at our house since Greyson was about 6 months old. They float in the water, and I find myself not only pulling them out at bath time but also at the water table or when we go to the pool. They stack so they are easy to pack and store in your bathroom, and I personally love the soft colors of these adorable boats.

Baby Bath Toys and Avoiding Mold : 5 Tips

1. Choose the right bath toys: Choose bath toys that are made of materials that are easy to clean and dry, such as hard plastic, silicone, or rubber. Avoid toys that have a lot of nooks and crannies that can trap water and promote mold growth.
2. Clean and dry toys after each use: After bath time, make sure to clean and dry your baby’s bath toys thoroughly. Use hot, soapy water and a scrub brush to clean the toys, and then rinse them thoroughly. Squeeze out any excess water and allow the toys to air dry completely before storing them.
3. Use a bath toy organizer: A bath toy organizer is a great way to keep your baby’s toys organized and free from mold. Choose an organizer that allows water to drain out easily and that is easy to clean.
4. Use vinegar or bleach: If you notice mold growing on your baby’s bath toys, use a solution of vinegar or bleach to kill the mold. Mix one part vinegar or bleach with ten parts water, and then use a scrub brush to clean the toys. Rinse them thoroughly and allow them to air dry.
5. Replace toys as needed: Bath toys can wear out over time, and they can also develop mold and bacteria that can be difficult to remove. If you notice that your baby’s bath toys are starting to look worn or if you can’t remove the mold, it’s time to replace them with new toys.It is important to note that even mold-resistant toys can still develop mold over time, so it is recommended to clean and dry them thoroughly after each use and regularly inspect them for any signs of mold growth.
