Preschoolers enjoy helping with cleanup, and can easily dust lampshades, books and tabletops, line up CDs, and sweep with a little broom. You'll be done in no time, and it's painless enough that kids won't mind doing another round every so often. Keep cleaning sessions short. A five- or 10-minute cleanup session, accompanied by upbeat music, is something the whole family can get into.Have the kids take inventory, pitting them against one another to see who can find the most. Have a cleaning-product treasure hunt. Do you have half-full bottles of cleanser stashed upstairs, downstairs, and in the garage? Save money and help protect the environment by using them up before you buy more.High Tea: Banish cobwebs from the ceilings, replace burned out light bulbs, dust the chandeliers.Hot Tamales: Clean the stovetop, dust the radiators, empty the crumbs from the toaster.Surf and Turf: Clean the garage, organize sports equipment, hose off boogie boards and surfboards, inflate basketballs and beach balls, rake the lawn.Make a "to-do" list that's clever and inspiring. Try a tongue-in-cheek menu of cleaning tasks, and let your child decide which jobs to tackle by ordering from it.So try these tips to pump up the fun factor: If a chore is interesting, he'll cooperate with enthusiasm - or, in the case of teenagers, at least with resignation.
