Hi,

i have made a handwashing station for my toddlers to help them be independent. If you would like a look, go to my blog

great idea Jen, looks very appealing. I have laminated picturesand names of our children on ribbon loops on hooksso that I can take them down when not needed and change for different children on different days, older child likes to set it up too. I like your site picture of the muddy hands and green background, I think it works really well

That looks lovely Jen!

It has obviously been carefully thought through and I'm sure it will work well

Oh that is so lovely and has given me inspiration for looking at my toddler hand washing facilities. Currently I have a step for little ones to stand at the sink, and I have a hook with lots of little towels on (ikea special!), the child washes their hands, takes a towel, and then puts it in the 'bin' in the corner of the room. It works very well once the child is tall enough, my little one (20 months) still needs a lift up, he's not tall enough even using the step. With your idea he could do it himself. Though I can imagine a very wet floor!

thats lovely

I have a little sink that hooks over the edge of the bath so they can reach easily. Does the job a treat

That little sink sounds brilliant.... where did you get it from as I can't fit a handwash stand in my bathroom!!!

great blog and website. pics look lovely.

I have a downstairs (mini) loo by my backdoor so I'm lucky.

Love the idea

I am lucky in the I have a downstairs cloakroom but it's set out similarly.

Bit unclear as to what they do with the water afterwards? You mention a big bowl?

Hi, yes there is a larger bowl underneath the other bowl that can be pulled out and the children can empty their handwashing water into it themself and push it back under.... just so they complete the process.... i will then tip it away down the sink, easier for them to tip it in the bowl than down the sink.

My kitchen isn't that big and I couldn't get a photo of the whole thing!!
