These are great. My 2 year old loves helping with vacuuming, mopping and putting laundry in the dryer.

I’ve been trying to implement more chores into my 4-year-old’s routine so
This is perfect timing! Thanks so much for these ideas!!

In reply to Maria Regina Mendezona. I feel you! It can be frustrating and difficult, sometimes easier and faster without them. A few months ago I tried to teach my 2 & 3 year olds how to fold their laundry and my oldest was interested but not my youngest. Recently my youngest was asking me to teach her while I folded, I was happily surprised and proud!

In reply to Emily | The Multitasking Mom. Yes, I totally agree. I’m not entirely for saying that they have to do a set of chores every day or on their own but rather with us because they’re our chores 😝

I love this! often times I’m guilty of not making them do the chores coz I feel like they’re just gonna mess up some more but its good to include them and teach them at a young age. Thanks mama!

These are great ideas! My kiddos definitely help with a lot of these. We try to make it fun with games or framing the task around helping each other instead of a chore they have to do.
