Kids and chores are a challenge, but knowing what jobs your little ones can accomplish can be a big help in keeping your home organized. Four to six year olds are at a delightful age and perfect for learning how to contribute by doing jobs around the house. They have a growing vocabulary and can understand two-part directions (“Wash your face and brush your teeth.”) In addition, they love to please others and are willing to participate with siblings and parents in accomplishing chores. They love to make a game out of doing these things.
In addition to the list published in the Kids and Chores Part 1 post, these children can:
1. Clear the table
2. Set the table
3. Carry in and help put away groceries
4. Make beds and help change sheets
5. Help fold clothes
6. Match socks7. Help choose and set out clothes for the next day
