Introduce purposeful care-of-the-environment work with this Montessori Washing a Table Activity Set, designed for older children who have already developed foundational skills like pouring, sponge work, and putting on an apron independently.
This complete set encourages the development of concentration, independence, order, and coordination, while fostering a sense of responsibility and pride in keeping the environment clean.
Set Includes:
1 Melamine Tray (11.6" × 8.3" / 29.5 cm × 21 cm)
1 Stainless Steel Bowl
1 Stainless Steel Pitcher
3 Stainless Steel Dishes (for sponge, soap, and brush)
1 Stainless Steel Bucket
1 Natural Sponge
1 Wooden Scrub Brush
1 Cotton Hand Mitt
1 Cream-Colored Apron (child-sized, with elastic loops)
Presentation Tips:
When guiding the child, demonstrate how to pour a moderate amount of water from the pitcher into the bowl — just enough for soaking the sponge without overfilling. This helps prevent spills during the washing process.
The empty dish is intended for soap. You can pre-cut a larger bar of soap into smaller child-sized pieces to make it easier to handle.
This activity is ideal for children who are ready for more advanced work — those who have previously practiced basic tasks like putting on an apron, carrying trays, and pouring water with control.
Learning Benefits:
Supports fine motor development, sequencing, and independence.
Encourages responsibility and environmental care.
Follows the Montessori principles of order, real tools, and purposeful work.
