This activity will have your kids happily washing dishes

Cool off this summer with this fun & soapy activity!
The Scribble

Today’s activity requires minimum prep and provides kiddos maximum entertainment. In other words? It’s perfect for summer.

Materials

  • A towel
  • Two bins
  • Water
  • Dish soap
  • Sponges
  • Toys

Instructions

  1. Set up your play area. If you’re inside, lay your towel down on the ground first. Fill your bins about an inch deep — one with plain water, one with water and dish soap — and put them down on top of the towel.
  2. Encourage your littles to pick toys to wash! Pile them up next to the bins.
  3. Let the kiddos have fun washing their toys! Demonstrate with them or let them free play. When they’re all done, lay them out on the towel to dry.
  4. Pictures of your kiddo dutifully washing will make your heart swell when looking back in your Qeepsake Book!

Soaking in Summer

Can’t believe summer’s almost over? Make the most of these last few weeks before real life re-starts.

0-12 Month-Olds: Get out of the house with your baby as much as you can! When the weather’s cooler, you’ll remember the joy of all that sunshine.

12-24 Month-Olds: When you can, try to rest during your kiddo’s mid-day nap. You deserve a break, too!

24+ Month-Olds: Summer is a special time to watch your toddlers grow and gain new skills. Don’t hold back from taking lots of pictures for your Qeepsake journals!
