Dish Washing
Target Age:
Early Two-Year Old
Materials You Will Need:
towel, two large bowls, sponge, dishwashing liquid, plastic dishes
What To Do:
This activity encourages concentration and self-esteem as your child enjoys doing a household job without your assistance. (If weather permits, I recommend doing this activity outdoors.) Give your child two bowls of water, one with soap suds and one with clear rinse water. Observe your child washing, rinsing, and drying the dishes. Chances are, your child will finish the task and want to start over again.
Variations:
You may do this activity with different objects such as rocks, pots or spoons.
