Diamond Maids shares 5 cleaning ideas for kids. Getting children to join the cleaning process can sometimes seem like an uphill task. However, it doesn’t always have to be that way. There are creative ideas that you can incorporate for your kids. Make chores fun for them and take some of the load off your shoulders.
5 Cleaning Ideas for Kids: Always include your kids in the process
When life gets busy, taking charge of the cleaning feels simpler because you can do it quicker. That could be true at the moment, but in the long term, having your kids be a part of the process is beneficial. This is rule #1.
Make It Fun
Cleaning isn’t a fun experience for most people, especially younger kids, so make it exciting for them. If your kid loves dressing up and role-playing, encourage them to start their own cleaning company.
Get them an apron and rubber gloves, and let them take charge. Ultimately, you get to play the role of a happy customer.
Incorporate The “Color Game”
You might be wondering what the color game entails, and we promise that it won’t disappoint – your kids will love it.
Now, let’s use the playroom as an example. Your playroom is likely messy, but your kids aren’t hurrying to clean it. Make clean-up time fun with the color game. Name a color (blue, red, green, yellow, etc.) and have them pick up any toys with the assigned color. You repeat as often as possible till the entire space is cleaned up.
5 Cleaning Ideas for Kids: Rewards & Confidence
Make It A Competition
On the days with more chores, assign a specific room to be cleaned from top to bottom. Create a competition to help keep them interested. As a prize, Whoever thoroughly finishes their cleaning assignment first, gets rewarded with a treat.
Don’t Fix Their Work
When you assign a chore to your child but fix what they did, it sends a message that their work was not good enough. It can make them feel discouraged and less likely to participate next time.
To avoid this, have kids focus on tasks that don’t need to be 100% perfect, giving them the confidence to keep helping.
