Little people just love Little Tikes cars, they love playing with water and they love doing big people work.

Combine all these elements and you have a car washing party.

How to get started?

Gather as many Little Tikes cars and vehicles that you can find. Try your local toy library once you’ve raided your friend’s backyards.

Next you need to get all your equipment together. You’ll need, buckets, squeegees, chux, old tea towels and loads of soapy water.

If you can get your hands on some witches hats and create a little washing bay you’ll really set the scene.

Have your helpers bring a change of clothes as they will no doubt have fun getting really wet.
