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.
