Kitchen Chores for Kids to Make Your Life Easier!

Even from the youngest age, my kids have been fascinated with the kitchen.  They’ve always been eager to help with the cooking and baking, of course.  And are always willing to do anything that involves sudsy water, of course.  But I want to start giving them some more regular chores in the kitchen; I need to harness this kitchen fascination while I can, right?!  Here are some kitchen chores for kids that I’ve brainstormed; I thought they might help you with your kiddos, too.

6 Kitchen Chores for Kids

  • Putting Away Groceries – As I mentioned above, even my youngest loves emptying the grocery bags for me.  I think it’s like a treasure hunt for him!  I usually put things away where I know they belong as he unloads bags.  But older kids could probably learn where things belong and put them away themselves.
  • Wiping Kitchen Counters – I don’t know why, but all of my kids love cleaning with cloths or cleaning wipes.  And even really little ones can wipe a counter with a cloth or wipe.  You might have to go over it again afterward, but letting them help with this task gives them a sense of accomplishment and teaches responsibility.
  • Pre-Soaking – We all know that (most) kids love playing in soapy water.  Why not let them get some sensory play in while you “pre-soak” your pots and pans.  Then you can go in and do the more thorough washing if you need to, or just throw them in the dishwasher like I do!
  • Loading the Dishwasher – I have to be honest and admit that I rarely do any pre-soaking.  Since we use Finish® All In 1 Powerball® Detergent we almost never need to pre-wash or soak.  Everything just gets loaded right into the dishwasher and comes out sparkling clean!  I need to assign this task to one of my kiddos asap!
  • Unloading the Dishwasher – My Priscilla used to love to sort the silverware into the divided silverware drawer.  Now she likes to help unload the dishes onto the counter while I put the dishes away into the upper cabinets.
  • Sweeping the Floors – Oh my, I really need to give a kid this chore!  My floors are always a mess.  A little hand broom and dust pan could be great for little ones to help with this.  But I think I might get my oldest, Sawyer, using the good old broom and dust pan.

As mentioned above, Finish® All In 1 Powerball® Detergent Tablets is our current favorite dishwasher detergent.  Cliff swears by those little red powerballs!  No pre-washing in our house; our dishes always come out of the dishwasher super clean.

And while we don’t usually need it in our current home (with our water conditions), I used to use Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid religiously in a former home.  Our glassware always came out crystal clear.  No spots or residue at all!  I never realized how it worked – just made sure our dishwasher’s rinse aid dispenser was full – but I’ve learned that Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid actually speeds up drying to fight spots and film.  Pretty cool!

Finish at Walmart + 6 Kitchen Chores for Kids at B-Inspired Mama

Want to try Finish® Detergent and Finish® Jet-Dry®?  Make sure to CHECK OUT THESE GREAT REBATE OFFERS before heading to your local Walmart to purchase.

  • $1.00 off Finish® Max-in-One 23ct and higher (automatic dish detergent)
  • $1.00 off Finish® Jet Dry® 8.45oz (rinse aid)
  • Bonus offer: If you buy any Finish® Detergent (23ct and larger) AND Finish® Jet Dry®, you’ll get an additional $1.00

J.C. helped me shop at Walmart the other day; we picked up a box of Finish® All In 1 Powerball® Detergent, originally priced at $4.93, and the Ibotta Rebate Offer brought the price down to just $3.93.  (And that last box will last us almost a month!)  If we had purchased a bottle of Finish® Jet Dry®, too, we would have gotten $3 total in rebates!  I’m kind of kicking myself now for not doing that.  Such a deal!
