Washing dishes builds a sense of independence and teaches kids to be responsible. It also engages kids to contribute to household chores.
Kids can be introduced to washing dishes at age 3. Show them how to do it and help them as they learn.

"We do not teach the children these things [practical life activities] to make little servants of them, but because we have observed that of their own accord children actually take the greatest interest in perfecting all the movements of daily life." Maria Montessori, Maria Montessori Speaks to Parents
