Practical Life "Toys"
WASH CLOTHS
Children need to know what to clean up their messes with. I love these wash cloths because they're perfect for little hands, great price and super absorbent. They're the Amazon Basic Brand.
CLEANING SET
We love this Melissa and Doug Set. It includes a stand to store all of the cleaning supplies. Comes with: Toddler size broom, mop, dust pan, brush. Made out of wood with plastic pieces. It's the nicest yet affordable version of this I could find.
SMALL SPRAY BOTTLE
I try to limit the amount of plastic as much as I can in our house. So I found a small aluminium spray bottle for her to use for cleaning.I bought the one I have at Daiso Japan. But I can't find it anymore. Here is a possible alternative, but you can also repurpose any spray bottle at home.
WASH MITT
This is my daughter's favorite thing to clean up spills with. The one I use is From DAISO Japan stores. But if you don't have access to one, you can only order online in a box of 16 pieces. So if you're looking for an alternative. I found this set that has a child size mitt.

REAL VACUUM
This one is not really for kids, but if you take away the long handle bar it happens to be the perfect size for them! This one is by Bissel, super easy to use. We always have it plugged in ready for her to turn on. It's less than 30 dollars! No bags needed or anything.
KNIFE WE USE
This is the "knife" V uses to cut food when helping in the kitchen. It is perfect for little hands but still sharp enough it cuts.
WATER JUG
These are great for washing dishes, washing their hands, pouring themselves water. The one we currently have is from IKEA and it fits well in her play kitchen. If you don't have a play kitchen that has a plastic sink then I suggest you buy a stand an place a large container underneath. I don't fill the water all the way up to avoid huge messes. Try to find one with a good stainless steal faucet to avoid leaks. Here is a sample, you can also find them in pretty much any home store.
SMALL MILK SERVING GLASS
I loved this design. I like that it's heavy so she really needs to hold on tight to it and concentrate. I makes it hard but gives her good training for the future. This one is from Target from the Hearth & Hand with Magnolia
