		<description>I do much the same with my 2 kids. Another thing I do is have one of those floor sweepers to use instead of the vacuum for small messes. It&#039;s safe enough that even my 2 year old can push it around and clean up crumbs and such he spilled on the floor. He loves doing that.</description>

		<description>Great ideas!!  I just linked to your post from my blog.   :)

Here are a couple more ideas:

Dishwasher:  my toddler puts up the kid&#039;s bowls/plates, my preschooler puts away the silverware, and I put away the rest.  With all of us working, it&#039;s a 3-4 minute chore.

Laundry:  my toddler helps me sort the laundry into piles, my preschooler sorts and matches socks, and I fold clothes as my toddler hands them to me.
 
Toys:  we try to follow the rule of &quot;one set of toys out per person&quot;.  My preschooler has this down pat, but it&#039;s a battle to win the attention of my toddler.

Gardening:  the kids fill up buckets to water plants, while I do the majority of watering with the hose.

Breakfast:  my preschooler helps get a cold breakfast ready for his little brother, while I feed the baby.  It sounds little, but it&#039;s a huge help!</description>
