Clever Tools That Make Young Kids Excited About Chores

No more messy floors

Messy floors are inevitable with young kids but it doesn't always have to be that way. As soon as snack time is over, encourage your kid to clean up the mess with their own tools. 

This simple dust, sweep and mop set from Melissa & Doug is sturdy and light, making it perfect for small hands. 

Another great option is this turbocharged carpet sweeper from Bissell. It’s actually an adult tool but you can adjust the handle so it’s short enough for young kids to use. It's lightweight and does a decent job at removing dirt. Thankfully, it comes with a rechargeable plug so your preschooler can vacuum to their hearts' content without having to replace the batteries every week.   

A simple handheld vacuum like this one from Dirt Devil is light enough for kids to use and will help with bigger messes. Plus, it is a lot of fun for kids to use.
