M had a blast helping us wash the car!
Last weekend we were out on the driveway washing the cars. We gave M his own sponge so he could “help” us and were surprised at how much fun he had playing in the water. We ended up giving him his own bucket along with a few of his bath cups, and he was the happiest kid for the next couple hours. It hadn’t dawned on us to consider water activities outside a pool environment, but there are tons of simple water activities that you can put together with items from your home.
