Squeegee in a child's hands
The squeegee for cleaning windows measures 70 cm and has a wooden handle and head, a rubber blade and a metal hook. The child holds the handle with both hands, sets the blade at the top of the wet glass and draws it downwards, pushing the water in front of it. The hook is for hanging the squeegee up. After use, rinse the rubber blade and let it dry completely, and wipe the handle with a damp cloth. The squeegee weighs 250 g and is meant for children aged 3 to 6.
Gross Motor Coordination
Pushing and pulling the squeegee across floors strengthens core muscles and develops bilateral coordination through purposeful movement.
Care of Environment
Children learn responsibility for their classroom space while developing practical skills they can apply at home.
Sequential Thinking
Following the complete water cleanup process teaches logical sequencing and completion of multi-step tasks.
Independence & Confidence
Successfully managing spills and maintaining cleanliness builds self-reliance and pride in contributing to the community.
