This practical life lesson is designed for 1 to 3-year-old children to teach them how to wash a table.
The child’s desire to emulate the behavior of adults is natural; they often wish to be “little helpers.” Washing a table helps the child understand the importance of the environment. Children gain a sense of functional independence and self-confidence with such activities. They also learn how to carry out long sequences of movements, work with concentration, and further develop coordination of their physical body.
