Gaby Bath Toys 5-pack - Multimix

My toddler used to fight me at bath time but now he actually reaches for these. The soft silicone is squishy enough that he can grip them even with soapy hands, and the bright animal shapes keep him busy the whole time.

The silicone is way softer than I expected, and my daughter chews on the elephant constantly without any worry. They float nicely too, so she spends half of bathtime chasing them around the tub. Bright colors, no weird plastic smell right out of the package.

My toddler can actually grip these on her own because the silicone is soft but not slippery when wet. The animal shapes keep her distracted long enough that hair washing isn't a fight anymore. Five of them means there's always one within reach when she drops the rest.
