Every child dreams of growing up quickly, always copying mom and dad, trying to help in everything. To make this process more fun and safer, adults have come up with toys that imitate household appliances. One of these simple inventions was a children’s washing machine.
It’s hard for parents who played with pots and clothespins to imagine that manufacturers came up with toy washing machines with water and a spinning drum. Nevertheless, such toys develop imagination and fine motor skills, accustom them to household duties and simply delight and amuse the child. You can, of course, do something similar “with your own hands” from cardboard, but such a machine will not make sounds, but only resemble a real one from afar.
