How to try it
Give your toddler an unbreakable cup with a little water in it. Show them how to hold it with two hands and walk slowly to the sink, then let them carry it all the way. Cheer on the careful walking, not the speed.
Materials
- Unbreakable cup
- Water
Safety note
Never leave a child alone near water. Wipe spills straight away and stay close so they do not slip.
