I have found the younger I have begun and the happier I have made the chore times the easier it is to start adding on other chores to chore charts for preschoolers. If you feel that your child has got their personal hygiene and a few other easy chores well covered it is time to move onto other ways for them to serve their family and do their “bit” around the home.

The same principle applies here as it did for chores with young children, you need to stay alongside this age group and work with them. Sure, there are things that you can set them to do after training them and leave them to complete the job on their own...but its always good to keep going back to check on their progress.

Remember too when making chore charts for preschoolers that they love to have company, they are starting they enjoy longer conversations and, as one of my children does, may enjoy music while they work.

Ensure that you add in some fun activities for preschoolers too, like using a spray bottle to clean mirrors!

This age group love to see the product of their work so it an ideal time to add a nightly cooking chore. Our preschooler loves to make the salad with me in the evening while our older children make the dinner with me. Remember never to leave your children alone in the kitchen with knives and hot things until they are MUCH older.

Your preschooler quite possibly loves being out in nature and is starting to appreciate God’s hand in His creation. These glimmers in the spirit of your child make it an ideal time to spend working in the garden together.

You can assign a part of your garden to your preschool child that they can maintain with your help. It may be the weekly sweeping of pathways or even the weeding of your vegetable garden. Be sure to take the time to work with them and get your outdoors in order.
