Did you grow up doing chores? I grew up doing chores when I came home from school everyday and then bigger chores every Saturday morning. I dreaded chores as a kid but now, looking back as a mommy, I recognize how those dreaded chores taught me how to keep a house and take care of my things.

Having toddlers in the house, they aren't quite at a point psychologically to dread chores. In fact, they really enjoy them and I think it makes them feel like "big kids" as they become proud of small accomplishments.


Hence, the chore chart I came up with. It's simple, it's made with chalkboard paint (love) and the chores are illustrated visually because my little kiddos can't read yet!
