We used a "johnny jump up" type thing hanging in the doorway.
Or pulled an exersaucer into the doorway.
Or put younger babies into a bouncy seat beside the tub.
OR.....brought them into the tub/shower with us.

I have always popped my little man in his car seat, as when he moves it rocks, which pleases him immensely. Then he just watches me shower, which I imagine he finds quite amusing. I feel very sorry for his future psychiatrist...

We went from carseat to bouncy seat to blanket with toys on the floor. My daughter's 2 now--I still prefer to have her in hearing range, so I save a couple especially good puzzles for shower time...and she helps me with my shower singing. :)

And we wonder why child obesity is a growing epidemic.
Why is it that every time someone needs to distract their child for a few minutes so they can get something done for themselves, does that distraction include food?
How about giving he toddler a book, or some blocks. If he throws them on the floor, then he'll get upset and you'll spend the rest of your shower listening to him complain (complain = scream). But, next time, he'll think twice before throwing away his only entertainment.
Good luck.

Don't worry Gene, this is the only time I feed my kid, so he won't be getting obese any time soon. **insert roll eyes here**
Get over yourself. If you think he's getting fat from snacking on an apple while I shower for 10 minutes, then you really are insane.
