Hand Washing Activity Set
Handwashing in Montessori is much more than hygiene - it is a graceful ritual that teaches independence, order, and care of the person. This beautifully designed set allows children to experience one of the classic Practical Life activities through real, child-sized materials and a calm, purposeful sequence.
Children love the sensory joy of handwashing - the sound of pouring water, the feel of the soap, and the satisfaction of drying their hands with care. The activity strengthens coordination, fine motor skills, and self-awareness while inviting mindfulness and focus.
This Hand Washing Activity Set includes elegant cream-colored tools for teaching the traditional Montessori handwashing lesson. Every detail is chosen to support beauty, simplicity, and functionality.
The set includes
- Tin vintage basin (9.5" diameter)
- Tin pitcher (3.5" base x 7" height)
- Tin pail (4.5" base x 5.5" height)
- Cotton cloth and cleaning mitt
- Small cotton apron (13" wide x 14" long)
- Soap dish
Presentation
Invite the child to put on the apron and carefully carry the materials to the work table. Demonstrate how to fill the basin, wet hands, apply soap, rinse, dry, and pour out the used water. Each movement is performed slowly and gracefully, helping the child absorb the sequence and the beauty of this meaningful work.
