Printable chore lists
Ariane Signer
Kids are very adept at making messes, but getting them to clean up after themselves is sometimes easier said than done. Introducing a chore list can be a really practical solution for your clean-up routine. Kids thrive when they feel responsible for their own tasks, and a chore chart can help set the stage for developing great habits as they get older. Little kids might enjoy a sticker chart (add a sticker every day they complete their chores, for example). Whether you want to add a monetary reward is an individual choice. Some parents equate chore completion to allowances, others don’t. We’ve put together two chore charts to help you get started: one for little kids, and one for older kids.
