Kids Activities With Sponges

Sponges can be used in play activities for toddlers and preschoolers. They can use sponges to wash their toys or play food and they can transfer water with their sponges for water play.

Sponge water transfer

Can you transfer the water with the help of a sponge? The sponge will soak up the water, your child can squeeze it out to turn it into water again. Magic!

When the weather is warm, this is a good activity to keep the kids entertained with little setup and low cost. You only need water, bowls and sponges to keep your kids entertained in the summer. They transfer water from one bowl to the next.

This is a great activity for strengthening the muscles of your kid’s hands and fingers, and it is also a good way to cool off on a warm day.

Washing dishes sensory play

This is a very useful activity to clean up any dishes left over from playing outside. Or your kids can wash some of their washable toys. Either way it’s a great activity to engage kids for a while.

It just takes a sensory bin, water, scrubbers, soap and some toys to entertain your kids for a long time.

Kids get to practice life skills in this sensory bin and copy you washing dishes.

Farm animals washing station

“Dirty, dirty animals. Let’s wash you” - my son, aged almost 4 (who loves washing things).

My kids enjoy playing with water and dirt so this activity will keep them busy for a while. You just need dirt, animal figurines, soapy water and washing tools for your kids to play. They can dip the animals into the dirt and then wash them in the soapy water.
