Put it in Order

Together with your child, tidy up the children's corner. Talk about how to quickly find toys if he forgets where he hid them. Let your baby place them in the boxes, drawers and shelves where he usually stores them.

Cleaning a child's room is a great way to teach your child how to keep things in order. When you're cleaning together, explain why it's important to put toys back where they belong. This will make it easier for him to find them later. Show how to sort toys into boxes and shelves. This will help clean up the mess faster.

Praise your child when he tries to clean up the mess. Cleaning should be fun! Turn on your favorite music and turn this activity into a game. Then cleaning will not be a burden. A clean and tidy room will please both of you!
