Outdoor Car Wash

Encourage social skills as preschool children participate in this warm weather water play activity from Betty N.

Materials: Riding cars, sponges, and shallow dishes of soapy water.

Description: During outside time, set up an area where the children can pretend  to be a car wash. Place many shallow bowls containing soap and water outside and give each child a sponge. Promote sharing and cooperation as preschool children work together washing the cars. The children will absolutely love this idea. Before you know it they will be washing all of the outdoor toys and equipment.

Comments: It must be a nice day, warm weather and teacher supervision is  absolutely a MUST at all times.
