Make chores a family affair and get your preschoolers excited about helping with mundane activities that will keep them occupied and get the house cleaned up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Introduce daily chores as well as \u201cwhole family\u201d chores. Putting away their toys by themselves once they\u2019re done playing with them, putting away their laundry, or even scooping the pet\u2019s food every morning will establish a routine that will continue even after school starts. Make this fun and incentivized at first, but emphasize that everyone in the family helps out, and this is how they contribute, even when it stops being \u201cfun\u201d or exciting!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here are some other ways to make chores less of a chore with little ones:<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hide small treats or pennies to find when they are dusting\/cleaning up, or set a timer and see who can pick up toys the fastest.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make chore charts. List weekly chores and put a sticker next to each one that\u2019s completed. Recognize the child with the most stickers at the end of the week as \u201cThe Biggest Helper\u201d!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Music or podcasts. Play some family friendly podcasts or a favorite playlist to get your groove on while you all help clean up. For a great list of podcasts, visit this blog.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">House cleaning can be a family event! Make laminated \u201cChores Bingo\u201d cards, and the first person to make a Bingo wins!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s up to you whether you want to use allowance as an incentive. Remember though that kids this age just love being praised and feeling important! Small treats are also perfectly acceptable of course! <\/span><\/p>\n<p>For a list of preschooler-friendly chores, <a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/medlock-bridge\/2018\/12\/20\/preschooler-chores\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to learn more about<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidsrkidsmedlockbridge.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Learning Academy of Medlock Bridge<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located in Norcross, Georgia?
