I recently bought this small little dustpan thingy via eBay (it's about USD1.28 including shipping to Malaysia) and I personally feel it is a cute and neat trick to get our kiddos to be involved in a bit of house chores as well. It is just the right size for their tiny fingers and small hands, perfect for them to maneuver around.
Now why this falls into the 'Teaching & Learning Moments!'?
* I get to teach our kiddos about responsibilities - clean up after making a mess.
* I get to teach our kiddos to practise their motor skills and dexterity - to sweep and aim the dust/rubbish into the pan.
* I don't need to lug the vacuum cleaner or bring in the big broom and dustpan into the room to sweep up minor mess.
Win-win!
