Helping with household work is a huge part of the Montessori philosophy, we call it practical life!

One thing that can make a huge difference for kids in making chore time better is child size equipment. A small whisk brush with pan is easier for picking up piles than an adult broom and dust pan. A swiffer is easy to just twist out the middle section or two to make the handle shorter.

For Small Hands is a great company for finding child size cleaning supplies. Just looking through the catalog will give you a great place to start!

my one year old will actually wipe stuff up – she loves to help. Has absolutely no concept of what she’s wiping – but she has fun mimicking mommy

How cute is this? I think my 13 month old should have to vaccuum up his own cheerio-mess!

Stoppin’ by from MBC!
