I loved this list from Chocolate on My Cranium of age appropriate chores for 2-3 year olds. I feel it's important to teach children to participate in the upkeep of a home and family. And honestly, kids really do like to help out and feel that they are an important part of a family! So here's the list:
Begin to dress self
Help make bed - at least pull up covers
Pick Up Toys
Hang clothing on hooks
Carry laundry to and from laundry area
Help fold towels
Empty light trash cans
Dust
Carry plate to sink after meals
Put silverware in dishwasher
Help feed animals
Help wipe up spills
Dry unbreakable dishes
Sweep
Bring in newspaper
Mop a small area
Pour from a small pitcher
Pull weeds
Fetch diapers
Help pick up living room
