Bedroom Cleaning Chart for Children (Free Printable included)

It hasn’t always been common knowledge that toddlers and preschoolers are capable of successfully performing tasks to help keep the house clean. But now, as a society, we are finally catching up a bit more with wonderful teaching methods like The Montessori Method, and we are starting to help our children get on the right path to independence. 

Preschoolers and even toddlers are capable of performing small tasks, be it picking their blocks up or wiping the table.
Messes are part of childhood and that is ok, but we also need to clean them up. In our home, this was becoming a bit of an issue, so I am sharing with you this post with an easy way to keep a preschooler’s room clean. As a bonus, this post comes with a FREE printable of the chart! Read on to find out what we did.

Our Chore Chart Routine (Preschool)

Afternoon Chores

After what K and I have been learning about how much he loves helping with household chores, and after reading the "Managers of their Homes" book (see above), I figured I would try an afternoon chore chart. I consulted websites that cited chores that were age appropriate (this one included) and came up with a list. I used the free editable chore chart below to fill it out with our afternoon chores. I ended up filling up two charts, haha!
