Exploration through Practical Life activities.

The Dish Washing Stations and Sensory Tables are designed to promote learning through exploration and repetition in the classroom and at home. Engaging in Practical Life activities like washing dishes can empower children to actively participate in their community, which fosters a sense of purpose and motivation.

You can customize these stations to meet your needs from two different height options and the choice between plastic tubs or metal bowls for cleaning and rinsing to best fit your needs. Our unique design also features a shelf, bar, and hooks for wet or dry towels.

    For hand washing, the hand washing station is another option. 

    Features

    • Multiple variant options to find the best solution for your space.
    • Side Hooks and Top hooks for utensils.
    • The bottom shelf is made of slats that will hold wet materials without damaging the shelf.
    • Dowel rod for hanging/drying cloth.
    • Each plastic tub can hold up to 3 gallons and each metal bowl can hold up to 2.5 gallons, although we recommend that the caregiver determine the amount that is right for each child and their environment.

    Introduction of self-help skills

    We are super excited about introducing some self help skills from the Montessori based education to our play based school. The children are so excited about cleaning up after them selves, scraping their paltes, and washing their dishes. The look of pride on their faces speaks volumes. Great craftmsanship and solid.

    Great size and design

    The design and size are great. It is not completely water sealed and we already have water damage.

    The item was not sealed as we thought it would be. This item will need further sealing if you plan on using it for water. The top of the station also did not fit properly when we received it. We had to glue it in place.

    We're sorry to hear that your experience with our Dish Washing/Sensory Stations wasn't as expected. The edges of the station are sealed twice with a Greenguard-certified, water-based finish to offer protection from water, though it does not make the station completely waterproof. Fully waterproof finishes/varnishes tend to have higher VOCs and we intentionally chose this tradeoff as this sealing method has supported washing stations that have been in classrooms for years.

    We apologize for the inconvenience of the top not fitting properly and appreciate you bringing this to our attention! Thank you for working with our support team to find a resolution that worked best for you.

    Washing Station/Sensory Play

    I love this table! It works so well for us as a washing station but we also have gotten use as a sensory table. So well made! No issues when we get it wet. We just wipe it up and it's as good as new!

    Dishwashing Table

    It is a wonderful table. I wish it were "finished" to protect the wood from water.

    Thanks so much for your review! We're glad you love the Washing Station. All edges of our Washing Stations (including where the bowl/tub sit) are finished to protect the wood from water damage. The top is made of White Melamine Baltic Birch for extra water resistance. If you have any questions or concerns with your piece, feel free to reach out anytime!

    LOVE!!

    Our dishwashing station is the highlight of our classroom! It is used all day every day, incredibly functional AND aesthetically beautiful. I love the hooks, dowels, and shelf space that we use for dishwashing materials, including aprons, a large pitcher, dish soap and scrub brushes, space for a spill bucket, clean towels, dirty laundry, and enough counter space for a drying rack and other things children use to wash dishes. This will always be my favorite set that I will recommend forever!

    Dishwashing station

    I got the one bowl left option and at 18" high. It has been a great addition to the classroom.

    The toddlers love it. They are able to get the bowl out, reach, and see what is inside of the bowl. I have used it for sensory play along with dishwashing.

    ABSOLUTELY LOVE!

    This is my favorite piece of my classroom that we use every single day! It is so beautiful and functional, and they thought of everything. Hooks and a bar for towels, aprons, scrub brushes, and plenty of storage on the shelf underneath for our pitcher and dish soap, washboard, bin for dirty dishes, and baskets for clean & dirty towels. It’s our one-stop cleaning station in our classroom and looks so aesthetically beautiful! I also love how they considered height - so that the toddler classroom could get one just their size. Phenomenal product!

    For the white option, is the whole furniture piece white or just the counter top?

    Hi Ashlyn

    This is a great question! Our white Stations are crafted from white melamine birch for the top. All other parts are finished birch and Oak.
