Hi Peggy, you can actually paint them. Make sure that you use a paint that sticks to plastic and you can give your tub a whole new look. You can use a stencil to add a pattern as well. The sky is the limit :)
You could paint, paper, decoupage, transfers...there are some nice decals at the dollar tree.
here are some ideas for you

I have seen them covered in fabric with a padding on the top to look like a stool.
You can also use a suitable spray paint to decorate it, then add stencils.

Hi Peggy. You could cover the tub with contact paper. Or use stickers or decals to identify what's inside the tub.
I spray painted some with krylon brand. Scuff Ruth steel wool then clean and spray paint
How to do want to use the tub after it has been decorated?
You can spray paint (use one made for plastic) or use peel and stick wall paper.
I would use a made for rubber/ plastic spray paint and a stencil to add some spice!
Use decopage!
Hi! I've covered them with a simple slip cover, spray painted them with paint that works on plastic, used contact paper, etc. over the years. Stay safe!
Paint it!

I painted several to match by cleaning with alcohol after scuffing with steel wool. I used spray paint formulated for plastic by krylon.
