Interactive play dishwashing sink

Teach responsibility and promote fine motor skills with a toy sink that features running water and encourages children to "wash" their play dishes.

An interactive play dishwashing sink lets children turn on a faucet and wash pretend dishes, cups and cutlery just like grown-ups. It suits toddlers and preschoolers who love helping in the kitchen, and it keeps water play in one spot on a table or counter.

Questions people ask
