It's amazing how wonderful adding a kids' wash table to our kitchen has been. They use this daily for washing tables and hands when they wouldn't be able to do this independently otherwise.
We have used this table for so many other practical life activities that I'd like to share with you today:
Washcloths, dish soap, water pitcher, kitchen mixing tools, a large bowl and a wire whisk.
Pouring water into the bowl.
Adding dish soap.
Whisking the water.
Using the hand mixer.
Trying another mixer.
Loves the hand mixer - making bubbles! Here she says, "Almost done."
When she was done, she dumped the water into our washtub - we can use this for washing later today!
Then she dried her bowl and dishes.
Water transferring activity with a turkey baster.
My son loved this one.
So simple.
Washing seashells.
Sponges, seashells for exploring and washing and rinsing.
Washing their dishes.
My daughter rinsed and dried; and then, without prompting, put them away in their cabinet in the kitchen.
Practical life skills in our home is such a huge part of my children's education; and I love this quote from Maria Montessori:
