Drying dishes with Daddy
Following Montessori guidelines, we try to provide him with child-sized utensils where possible. He has his own small broom, a miniature vacuum cleaner (that does actually work) and a little watering can.
Pick of the toy store, and my little Montessori man choose the broom!
He is really becoming very helpful at home! Each meal he takes his empty bowl or plate to the kitchen, and will usually offer to take ours too. He feeds the cat and dog most mornings and evenings, if the door is opened for him he will go out, get the dog's or cat's dish and then get the dry food from where its stored, measure and tip in the correct amount. One of us parents usually adds the wet food though. He also loves collecting eggs from the chooks and putting them in the box in the kitchen.
There are lots of websites around with lists of toddler appropriate chores for anyone wondering what their little man or lady is capable of contributing to the home.
