Ahead of time, place plastic cars in soil and move them around so they become dirty. Put them in a tub of water and add child-safe no-tears soap to make bubbles. Point out to the children that the water is clean and clear before you place the cars inside. Provide small washcloths, sponges, paint brushes, plastic cups and spoons. Encourage the children to wash the cars and place them in the window to dry. After the children have finished washing the cars, ask them if there is a difference in the color of the water and why.
