- Improved hand-eye coordination by stacking dishes

To continue developing physical skills through dishwashing, parents can encourage their child to try washing dishes with different types of sponges or brushes, or even using their non-dominant hand. They can also challenge their child to balance on one foot for longer periods of time while washing dishes or try organizing the dishes in different ways to improve spatial awareness.
