If you’ve been following me for very long, then you know I am a huge fan of training children to work.
Here is a chart from my friend Toni over at The Happy Housewife—a list of age-appropriate chores that children can do. This does not mean that they do every chore, but it’s a list of ideas for you. If you’re wondering, “What can my four-year old do?”, this this might help you:
Around here, we use a weekly rotation for the “big things.” Here is what ours looks like this year:

Bottom line: Have a plan. Teach your children to help and the value of hard work. You’ll all be better off for it!
Work the Plan,

Thank you, you are wonderful!!! I had printed this list several months ago and when I went look for it, of course, I couldn’t find it! Thanks for sharing!!! 🙂
I’m really looking forward t the Bible study you mentionedyou’d be starting this month! I’ve been waiting three months, since the TTD Omaha conference!
Wish I would have had this when Eric Jr. was little–used to type up my own!
I was looking for this chore list! Thanks for posting it. Our chart has a bit more on it. The kids have at least five chores they are responsible for each day. The two oldest are learning to do their own laundry this year.
You’re welcome! 🙂
I, too, am eager to start a Bible study facilitated by you, Heidi!
Great!

I really love all your printables – they are so creative and practical! I just have to ask – what kind of printer do you have at home? Ours is always running out of ink! I often either write with markers on poster board or go to an office store to pay for bigger jobs. Perhaps a better printer (or maybe just more ink!) would do the trick for me!
Hi Aria! We have a Canon Pixma ink jet—hubby gets the ink refilled in some magical way. I’m not sure how but I know it’s less expensive than buying new cartridges. For years we bought the ink refill pack from Costco but they quit selling it.
