My DS has been doing chores since about 18m. His chores started off with unloading the washing machine into the basket (he loved doing that!) and putting his toys back in the box.

He's nearly three now, and he can pack up his toys (with prompting!), put his dirty plate/bowl by the sink, take off his pyjamas in the morning and put them on his bed, put his shoes and coat away when he has taken them off. He also likes to help sweep up, pass me washing to put on the line, help with the dishwasher and he helped me put up and decorate the Christmas tree on Saturday. DS also bakes with me (he's getting pretty good at helping with the sauces) and likes to do the weeding/watering in the summer.
