Tidying up together
Read together
Toys have a home. Let us put them back.
Many hands make a quick job.
Do it
- Give each toy group a labelled box or basket, with a picture on it.
- Set a short song or a timer. Tidy together until the music ends.
- Say what you are doing: “Blocks go in the blue box.”
- Thank your child for helping. Enjoy the clear floor.
Talk about it
- Where does this toy live?
- How fast can we be?
For the grown-up
Young children can help with chores in small ways. Make it a game, not a battle. A clear floor is also safer.
