Four uses for a sterilizing bowl when sterilizing days are well behind you (they will come!).
1. A Drum
Provide wooden spoons or some other drumming implement (provide yourself with earplugs) and off they go.
2. Water Bowl
Use as a large basin for water play.
3. Mini Sandpit
Fill the sterilizer bowl with sand. Provide spoons too dig and a fork as a rake. You could bury some gold coins (leftover from christmas??) as treasure!
4. A Mixing Bowl
Make homemade play dough or cakes, using the sterilizer as a mixing bowl.
