Read together

Toys have a home. Let us put them back.

Many hands make a quick job.

Do it

  1. Give each toy group a labelled box or basket, with a picture on it.
  2. Set a short song or a timer. Tidy together until the music ends.
  3. Say what you are doing: “Blocks go in the blue box.”
  4. Thank your child for helping. Enjoy the clear floor.

Talk about it

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.
