Dishes! As an adult, it doesn’t sound like much fun, but for children, it’s a favourite practical life activity.

Before each meal, we make sure we have all of the materials we need to wash our own dishes. After eating, we take our utensils to our bucket washing station to wash our own dishes.

Dishwashing is an important practical life skill that we turned into an activity to help children develop concentration, independence, and learn to care for themselves. It also helps to promote fine motor skills while teaching cleanliness and responsibility.
