Why it matters
Washing the car is a big, satisfying job kids can share with a grown-up, and it shows that looking after family things takes work.
Steps for kids
- Fill a bucket with warm soapy water.
- Wet the car with the hose or a watering can.
- Scrub with your sponge from top to bottom.
- Rinse off all the soap.
- Dry it with a soft cloth.
