Bath toy storage that actually dries out

Our recommendations

Best for a big pile of toys

Prince Lionheart Bath Hammock

No drilling and the toys come off the tub floor. The catch is finding a stretch of wall where all three suction cups will actually stay put.

Worth knowing

• Wet toys drip through the mesh and air-dry instead of sitting in a puddle.
• It goes up with three suction cups. No drill, no holes in the tile.
• Prince Lionheart lists a stretched span of up to four feet.

Best for toddlers who want to help clean up

OXO Tot Bath Toy Bin

A toddler can drag the OXO Tot scoop through the water and handle cleanup alone. There’s no lid, so toys sit open between baths.

Worth knowing

• Parents on Reddit keep praising scoop-and-drain organizers for making cleanup easy. One owner says the same scoop has lasted 15 years.
• Kids scoop the toys right out of the bathwater.
• Drain holes in the base let the bathwater pour out as the scoop comes up.

Holds the most upright on a ledge

OXO Tot Stand Up Bath Toy Bin

Bubble wands and stacking cups stand upright in the tall bin and dry through its side holes. It needs a wide, flat ledge or counter.

Worth knowing

• One owner on r/Parenting lifts the bin off its base tray to drain after baths, then clicks it back on and carries the toys out of the tub.
• That same owner calls the capacity modest. They rotate toys in and out instead of storing the whole collection.
• Tall walls hold long toys on end instead of in a heap.

How I narrowed it down

• Prince Lionheart SKU 4106: confirmed it hangs from three suction cups and stretchy mesh, not rigid arms or a bar across the tub.
• For both OXO Tot bins, noted where the drain holes sit (base on the scoop, sides and base on the stand-up) and how much ledge each needs.
• Checked that each photo shows the exact hammock or bin named, using the makers’ own images.
