Have each dice-roller complete a specific chore or work together, and then move on to another item on the list.ġ2. Turn chores into a dice game. Create a list of chores numbered 1–6, and then let the dice decide which chore you’ll do first. This is a great way to let the kids flex creative muscles as well as get the job done.ġ1. For kids who love to play pretend or dress-up, have them come up with a character (from maids and butlers to cowboys and firemen) and then be that character as they do their chores. It’s a fun, energetic (and slightly competitive) way to sort colors, whites, and darks.ġ0.
The winner is the first child to come back with all their dirty laundry in the requested color. Ready, set, go! Blow your whistle, shout a color, and watch the children sprint off to their rooms. Take before and after photos. My daughter loves to use my phone and take pictures, and comparing the two side by side is incredibly rewarding.ĩ. Chores will seem a lot more fun when the kids get their very own lottery-style scratch-off chore cards created with homemade scratch-off paint.Ĩ. I don’t know about you, but my kids love the annual Easter egg hunt, so why not turn it into a cleaning activity? Tell the kids you’ve carefully hidden small toys and treats here and there, and that the only way they’re going to discover these gems is by cleaning up the house.ħ. This is a great way for them to stay focused on the task at hand.Ħ.
Create a bull’s-eye. With a little painter’s tape, create a little bull’s-eye on the floor and make it your child’s mission to sweep all the crumbs into that small area. There’ll be more at risk than just the tower’s stability-your kids might be told to “mop the floor” or “fold laundry,” depending on which log they choose.ĥ. Write a chore or cleaning activity on the side of each log in a Jenga stack.
Arm them with spray bottles. Sounds simple, but spray bottles are a lot of fun to pump and squirt, so set the kids up on the kitchen floor or at the windows, and let ’em get to work.Ĥ. By creating directions based on simple computer codes (walk forward, bend down, turn left, drop toy), your child will not only have fun being a robot, but she’ll also end up cleaning her room plus, she’ll learn some programming along the way, too.ģ. Make a toddler cleaning set. For kids who like to do whatever mommy is doing, try creating a toddler cleaning kit for your little helper to tote around, complete with this adorable dust (sock) bunny.Ģ.
