Make Your Mess and Clean It Too

Kids can be messy — actually let’s try that again — kids ARE messy. So if you have a little one who likes to follow along next to you as you clean, then they need their own cleaning supplies. From vacuums that make realistic sounds and actually work, to kid-sized sinks that can be filled with bubbles while they wash the dishes, we’ve found all of the toys that let kids pretend they are dusting, scrubbing, and cleaning. These are great life skills to learn early!
