What to Avoid Using for Bath Toy Storage

• Bucket - buckets without a drain hole at the bottom will only accumulate excess water and won’t drain well. This excess water will form into mold and might harm your baby when in contact. Therefore, a bucket is not the best option for a bath toy holder.

• Sealed plastic bag - this is a typical baby bath toys storage option others use when going out for a vacation which is completely inappropriate. A sealed plastic bag will only keep damp air inside and will quickly smell within the toys. 

Try using Brunoko Bath Toy Organizer for outings at the beach or pool for better storage of your kid’s wet toys. Has holes at the bottom to properly drain excess water and made with waterproof material.
