If you have a youngin' who you're buying a Christmas gift for, one of the " new Hot toys" is the Melissa & Doug Dust, Sweep, & Mop Set!
They say it'll teach kids independence and responsibility as they pretend to help with chores, and that they'll have fun.
This is nothing new! My mother Susie bought me a dust, sweep, and mop set! And a wash the dishes set, make my own bed set, even an iron your own clothes set!
Pretend? Nah! LOL
