WFMW: Greatest Hits Edition
Happy Wednesday to you! It's time once again to post another WFMW tip!

This week Shannon has asked us to post our Greatest Hits Edition, in other words she's asked us to re-run one of our favorites of our own WFMWs. I know just the one to share again!

I posted this tip back on 20 September 2006 and was surprised at the great response it got! Here it is again.


List of Age Appropriate Children's Chores


I'm not sure where I stumbled across this list, and I'm sure there are others out there, but I have this one taped up on our refrigerator. It helps to give me ideas on what tasks to encourage Snuggle Bug to learn.


This image isn't expanding as I had hoped when you click on it so if you'd like me to email this list to you in a Word document so that you can read it and print off a nice copy, just leave me a comment with your email address and I'd be happy to do so!


Don't worry, if you leave me your email addresses, I promise I will not try to get rich quick by selling them to a mass marketing firm. :) I'll use them just to send out this list.


This chore list works for me. Maybe it'll work for you too! I'd love to hear about some of the age appropriate chores that your children are doing!


To find out what works for others, be sure to check out the other links at Shannon's, the creator of Works-For-Me Wednesday!

My past WFMW entries are found here.

Oh, a quick note:


My April Pay It Forward Book Exchange is now in full swing.


If you want a chance to win, be sure to check out this post for more details! You don't have to be a blogger to win!

I'd love to have a copy. I posted my child's chores as a post on my blog: it got long for a comment. :)

And if you make the fruit chiffon, I learned that you really need to be careful when you're blending -- maybe do it in batches in the blender -- or otherwise it kind of foams out the top.

At 3, my kids were folding all the towels and facecloths.

They would put a dusting mitt on their hand and dust the coffee table.

I would spray the Windex type stuff and they would clean the bottom third of the outside of the fridge, the bottom part of the stove, and the bottom kitchen cabinets.

We expanded until by age 6 they were fighting over who got to clean the toilet (they liked making all the bubbles in the water)!

Thanks for posting this!
