Toddler Chore Cards

Images from Prepared NOT Scared
I don't know how chores happen in your house, but in ours they differ by age and day. So far both of my children enjoy helping to pick up (although I know this may not always be the case!) Right now my son's favorite chores are putting the cereal boxes on the table and then putting them away after breakfast, putting his shoes away and unloading the silverware from the dishwasher.

I ran across this idea on Prepared not Scared and wanted to share. The authors have put together two PDF files (one for boys and one for girls) with 6 pages of chore cards just right for toddlers. These are so useful and cute, and free. You can print out the cards and have your child do a few each day, or post the ones that need to be done at different times of the day (morning, before bed, etc.) They are great.

If you'd like to download your own copy, go to their post and scroll to the bottom where you'll see the two PDF links.
