Abstract: A child safe bathtub splash guard is provided for preventing a bathing child from splashing water out onto a bathroom floor where it can create a dangerously slick surface. The splash guard has a wall portion for deflecting water that is connected to a horizontal supporting shelf. The shelf is adapted to accommodate children's toys, and has a textured surface to create better grip on wet toys. Attached to the horizontal shelf and opposing the wall member is an overhanging lip that extends down the inner wall of the tub to direct water back into the bathtub. The splash guard is constructed of a semi-rigid material such as rubber and may be decorated with a variety of themes.
