Kids Chores Seasonally By Age
These kids chores seasonally are organized by age group. Keep in mind, however, that these age groupings are recommendations - and just that.
Your child may be capable of doing a chore sooner or later, depending on her level of concentration, fine-motor skills, or maturity.
Once a child reaches an individual skill or age level, he can generally do the chores for his age group and those for the age groups below.
