To clean, or not to clean? That is the question.
While generally, I’m the latter, when the warm air of spring comes wafting in, so does the need to deep clean the contents of my entire home. Of course, “spring cleaning” has taken a new meaning since becoming a parent — it’s hard to vacuum behind the fridge when all my toddler wants to do is “help.” If you also have a little helper on your hands, let them lend a hand with cleaning-inspired toys. Wiping down the baseboards can be a lot more enjoyable when you have a toddler helping and singing “Clean Up” beside you.
Check out some of the best toys for your little cleaner below!
