Dusting and Sweeping

As we continue our chore bootcamp, we introduced dusting and sweeping.

For dusting I had the kids put long socks on their hands. It was easy for them to see the dust on the white socks, which encouraged them to continue. (We'll just pretend that I left the dust there to encourage this rather than because I'm a horrible house keeper.)

 

Then we moved onto sweeping the floor. Most of the stuff on the floor they dropped so it made sense that they should be the ones cleaning it up. They each have their own broom and dustpan that they can easily use. This was the only chore they didn't really seem to enjoy - maybe it's because they were having to sweep the floor 4 times a day. I will say, they did stop dropping as much on the floor though. Natural consequences for the win!
