This activity cost me less than $5 and it is something my son uses every day.
Go to your local dollar store and pick up some cleaning supplies. I bought the following: a small dust pan with little hand broom, a squirt bottle, a squeegee, and a sponge. I also got a container with a handle so my son could carry his cleaning supplies to where ever he wanted to take it.
Every day I put a little water in the bottle (don't do too much or they will soak the place!) and let him squirt the windows. He then uses the squeegee and sponge to wipe off the window. He also uses it to help wash down the tables in the house. And the dust pan and broom can be used in the kitchen to help me sweep or help clean up the crumbs from his snack.
It's hard to think kids would get such a kick out of cleaning but they really do! Sometimes kids just love getting the chance to help mom and dad. It's a great practical life activity!
