Toy Car Wash

It's FINALLY starting to warm up outside *cue happiness everywhere*. If there's one thing I've learned from being a mom, it's that if my kids are in a bad mood, water activities and getting outside always does the trick. This activity does BOTH of those things, so it's basically a mom's saving grace!

What you need:

  • A large container or waterproof bowl

  • Dish soap or tear-free baby shampoo

  • Toy cars

  • Rags, sponges, toothbrushes, etc.

  • Water

Instructions:

  1. In your bowl, pour in some dish soap.

  2. Add in water to get the bubbles going!

  3. Set your kids up with their rags and other cleaning supplies and let them go to town!

  4. Refill the water bowl as needed.

  5. Sit back and enjoy a Diet Dr. Pepper and get a little tan while your kids play for an hour!

Activity Notes:

  • If your kids aren't into cars, try doing it with toy animals!

  • If you want to keep your kids entertained even LONGER, I brought our little plastic slide and my boys turned it into a waterslide for their cars. Total win!

Pin it for later!
