Some appropriate chores for toddlers include:
• Clean up spills
• Pick up toys
• Wipe off part of the table after a meal
• Set plates, utensils, cups on the table (if they are unbreakable items)
• Match socks
• Put clothing in the hamper
• Pour dry cereal
• Stir batter
• Shut off TV or lights
• Put folded clothes in a drawer
• Hold the door for others
• Carry small, unbreakable items from the car
In addition, I let my child fix his bed before taking a shower or eat breakfast. Minor chores for our child won't kill them. It is training. We can also find ways as a parent to make it a bit fun while our child is helping in some chores.
