For many parents, bath time is a mix of sweet memories and a bit of chaos. Between slippery toddlers, bubbles, and scattered toys, it can feel more like a juggling act than a relaxing routine. But with the right bath essentials and a few simple tricks, you can turn this nightly ritual into something smooth, safe, and fun for the whole family.

Here are five easy tips (plus our favorite products!) to make bath time stress-free and organized:

1. Keep Everything in One Place

The #1 rule of bath time: never leave your little one unattended. That means you’ll want everything—shampoo, lotion, toys, and washcloths—within reach.

The new Large Bath Caddy paired with Inserts makes it simple to organize bath toys, bottles, and essentials all in one spot. No more cluttered counters or chasing toys around the tub—just scoop, rinse, and you’re done.

2. Make Washing Gentle (and Fun!)

If your toddler squirms when it’s time to scrub, soft textures can make all the difference. 

Our Terry Washcloths are made with ultra-soft terry cotton that’s gentle on delicate skin but tough enough for everyday messes. For extra fun, let your toddler “wash” their bath toy while you give them a gentle scrub—it keeps them engaged while getting squeaky clean.

3. Use Hooks to Maximize Space

Between towels, washcloths, and toys, bathroom counters fill up fast. Vertical storage is your new best friend.

The Bath Caddy Hooks give you an easy way to hang washcloths, loofahs, or bath caddies. Plus, they help everything dry quickly, keeping your bathroom tidy and fresh.

4. Stick to a Simple Routine

Kids thrive on consistency, and a predictable bath time routine makes the evening flow smoother. Start with play, then wash, rinse, and finish with a warm towel wrap. Keeping the order the same each night helps your child know what to expect, cutting down on resistance.

5. Create a Calm Ending

Bath time isn’t just about getting clean—it’s about winding down. After the tub, dim the lights, wrap your little one in a cozy blanket, and enjoy a cuddle or bedtime story. The calmer the ending, the easier the transition to sleep.

Bath time doesn’t have to feel chaotic. With the right tools and a little routine, it can actually become one of the most peaceful (and fun!) moments of your day.
