I don’t think he’s seeing anything in the water; when he’s doing it, he just looks like he’s playing / having fun.

He also has a long time habit of dropping his toys into his food and water. There’s almost always a toy or two sitting on the counter drying out after a dunking — and more now since he started playing in the water.

I guess I’ll just keep trying to stop the water play with firm “no”s. What I don’t want to do is give him some kind of attention that he considers a reward for playing in the water. Or make him hate baths even more than he already does by making him associate water with a negative consequence.
They don’t make the one I have anymore but when I was testing new food I bought and used these https://www.chewy.com/petrageous-des...inner/dp/55327. They are probably big for him but any tray really would work. They have smaller ones for different things like this one from target https://www.target.com/p/plastic-bat...81#lnk=sametab.
