Clean up together – give your toddler’s toys a wash

What you need 

• Some cloths 
• A space that can get splashed (this could be perfect to do outside or in the bathroom) 
• A few dirty toys that won’t be damaged by getting wet 
• Towels – for you, your toddler and the toys 

What to do 

• Place the cloths, water and toys in a fairly large space (your toddler will probably move their whole arm when they use a cloth).  
• Tell your toddler that you’re going to clean some toys.  
• Give them a cloth and let them choose what they want to wash first.  
• You could use a cloth to clean something too, then they can watch you and copy.  
• Keep cleaning together for as long as your toddler is interested.
