Cloth Washing Stand – Primary
This beautifully crafted Montessori washing stand is designed for the Primary age group to experience one of the classic Practical Life - Care of the Environment activities: cloth washing. It allows children to scrub, rinse, and hang cloths, helping them refine coordination, concentration, and independence through meaningful, hands-on work.
Children naturally enjoy washing activities - the water, the soap bubbles, and the rhythmic movement of scrubbing bring both joy and focus. Maria Montessori herself began the first cloth washing lessons using a washboard and plenty of foam to capture the children’s attention. This beloved activity continues to inspire calm concentration and satisfaction in the Montessori classroom today.
Made of durable solid beechwood, this stand is crafted from natural wood that combines strength, warmth, and timeless beauty. Furniture made from beechwood can last for generations, making it a lasting investment for any Montessori environment. The stand includes two basins for washing and rinsing, positioned at an ideal height for Primary children to work comfortably and independently.
Wooden Washboard is not included.
Please note: basin color may vary.
