Household Tasks

According to an old adage, "A broom can cure all boredom."


65. CLEANING, SWEEPING, AND DUSTING: It may be a chore to you, but it's actually fun for your kids. A broom, a feather duster, or a spritz bottle can cure all spouts of boredom. Use a green cleaner or just fill a bottle with water.

66. ORGANIZE TUPPERWARE: Forget fancy wooden toys: Tupperware is ideal for teaching kids spatial relations. Organize same-size containers, stack smaller inside larger, and find matching lids.

67. WATER PLANTS: Fill a pitcher; carry the pitcher (carefully) to a plant; pour. Repeat. What a privilege!
