Kid-Sized Cleaning Supplies

cleaningsupplieskids-TOPPIC.jpgThis month is Spring Cleaning with Kids month on Ohdeedoh, and what better way to invite children to clean with you than with cleaning items and supplies made just for them. Real working squeegees, sponges, mops and brooms are the best way to go -- and having the items in the perfect size for your children not only encourages independence and confidence, they also get the job done!

 
 

Here are some items that our son has loved, and will definitely keep any eager toddler or preschooler a busy little cleaning bee:

Lambswool Duster, $3.95
Yarn Mop, $6.50
Recycled Brush & Dustpan Set, $4.95
Lola Bristle Brush, $2.95
Sponge and Tub Set, $12.25
Children's Corn Broom, $15.95

great roundup! my son is almost 2 and is OBSESSED with floor cleaning products (probably because im a stay at home mom and he sees me cleaning all the time) any chance he can get to the vacuum, swiffer, broom he will- and it usually causes a problem when we put them away! i've had a hard time finding mini brooms/mops/vacuums in stores and will probably order them online.

thanks!

You can also take out one of the sections of a Swiffer sweeper to make it kid sized. We did this and our daughter loves to help clean up!
