The kids do this lately every time we get out the baby pool and/or the sprinkler. They ask for a sponge and start washing all the outdoor toys! :)

We have to wash the patio furniture - it is too dusty!  Great idea!

Other chores, setting the table...and taking out the garbage.

My kids like washing anything outside that lets them use the hose!
They're pretty good helpers.
