Category: Baby > Bath toy. Updated 2026-10-08. Based on 253 counted first-hand reports from Target shopper reviews, Apr 2020 to Oct 2026.

**Question:** Which bath toy keeps kids busy?

**Short answer:** Munchkin Falls Bath Toy has the best record, with 32 of 32 parents saying their child loved it and played with it in the bath. Nearly every parent who wrote about play said their child enjoyed the toy, so the differences are small: Skip Hop Zoo Stack & Pour Buckets matches it at 32 of 32, and Yookidoo Elephant Baby Shower also scores 25 of 25 from a smaller group of parents. What sets these toys apart is cleanup and breakage, not boredom.

**What stands out:** Boredom is rare: 1 of 34 parents said their child lost interest in Yookidoo Spin 'N' Sprinkle Water Lab, and no parent said it about the other toys here. Where the toys differ is cleanup and breakage, such as 33% of Munchkin Ocean Squirts reviews saying the toys get moldy inside and 28% of Yookidoo Elephant Baby Shower reviews saying it breaks easily.
