8 Chores Your Kids Can Totally Handle

Hey there! Let’s be real: chores aren’t exactly anyone’s favorite pastime. I remember my own college days when I barely managed to get my sheets into the washer. They turned a lovely shade of beige by the end of the year—yikes! I was so lazy that when my roommate suggested I just keep going with the trend, I was like, “Why not?” Fast forward to now, and while I do try to keep my kids from living in filth, I’m still not a fan of chores. But you know what? It’s time to get the little ones involved!

Here are eight chores you should definitely let your kids tackle:

1. Swiffering: Give them a wet Swiffer! Kids love anything involving water, and you can sneak away for a few minutes while they make the kitchen floor a little less gross.
2. Toy Donations: Don’t save this for the holidays—have your kids bag up toys to donate throughout the year. Frame it as making space for new gifts; they’ll be tossing toys into bags faster than you can say “Santa!” Plus, it teaches them about giving to others.
3. Cooking and Baking: Sure, they might just make a mess, but letting them stir and pour ingredients is both fun and educational! Who knows? One day they might whip up dinner for you.
4. Sweeping: Kids love to sweep! Even if they just move dirt around, at least it’s out of sight. Plus, my little one has become a pro at sweeping up leaves before they turn into snow.
5. Putting Away Clothes: Your kiddos know where their clothes go, right? Even if it takes all day, they can manage to get their things into the right drawers. Just make sure they don’t leave them piled up on their beds!
6. Dressing Themselves: Let them choose their outfits, even if it’s a bit mismatched. You’ll save so many morning battles, and who cares if they look a little goofy?
7. “Doing the Dishes”: I put this in quotes because, let’s be honest, they probably won’t get them clean. But it gives you a break while they splash around in the sink for half an hour!
8. Feeding the Baby: If your child is eager to help, let them take a crack at feeding the baby. It’s super cute and lets you take a breather—just wish they could pump for you too!

So, there you have it! By letting your kids take on these chores, you’re not just lightening your load; you’re also teaching them valuable life skills.
