Once your child is about 1 year old, he or she can start helping you put toys away after playtime. At this stage, you want chores to be fun, so let your toddler know when it is time to clean up, and add some sort of fun ritual to the process — you could sing a song or make amusing faces and sounds. This way, your child will start learning to look forward to this new chore!
