Teach your kids the value (and fun) that comes from hard work by assigning age-appropriate cleaning activities. Whether they’re knocking tasks off a random acts of cleaning kindness checklist or mixing up a natural (and kid safe) cleaning solution, your space will be sparkling in no time.

Here are just some of the random acts of cleaning kindness your kids can take part in this spring:

• Pick up trash at a nearby park or playground
• Mix up a natural cleaning solution and wash the windows with it
• Help a neighbor in need with yard work
• Wash your family car
• Give away gently used clothes or books
• Do the dishes after dinner one night
• Donate a toy to a child in need

To incentive your family to get cleaning, you can offer rewards such as ice cream or allowance. And once your kids learn the cleaning basics, work it into their weekly routine with a chore chart. This will make the lessons last long after the spring season.
