I mooched this idea from Carolyn when she told me her daughter would stand at the sink for 30 minutes and do dishes.
30 minutes.
I went right home and filled up the kitchen sink. I'm just keeping it real: there is nothing more pleasant than busy toddlers that are not demanding my attention.
I add some plastic dishes, a little soap for bubble fun and they each get an apron. (Sidenote: these are not all my children, I participate in a baby-sitting exchange.)
I feel there are 5 major advantages:
1. I can finish my coffee and surf people.com
2. They practice doing dishes.
3. They have a blast.
4. They will have cleaner toddler hands.
5. I can finish my coffee and surf people.com
Hard at work...

Seanna sits at the sink FOREVER if I put water in it and leave it going just a little and squirt some dish soap for bubbles. She washes all her cups and bowls. Well until she decides to put the sponge on her tummy a couple of times and then hates it when her shirt is wet. :)
I am ALL over this! Now I just need to find a stool that will get Ethan tall enough and we're set:).
love your ideas! I'm stealing them all.
