Dish Washing Table in a child's hands
Two stainless steel bowls set into a plywood table at 40 cm, one for washing and one for rinsing, so a child runs the whole sequence rather than a token part of it. Real dishes, real water and a real consequence when the water goes on the floor are what make this practical life work rather than play: the child is doing something the household actually needs. The height is the point, since a child at a sink on a stool is being helped, and a child at their own table is not. Table 120 x 45 x 40 cm.

How to present it
Position the table against a wall near water access. Place a small pitcher for water transport, child-safe dish soap, sponge, dish brush, drying rack, and towel on or near the table. Fill one bowl with warm soapy water and the other with clean rinse water.
