做家務是我們每個家庭生活中最常見的日常活動，或許我們覺得平淡又無趣，而對正忙于探索和發現世界的小朋友們來說卻是妙趣橫生。所以請千萬千萬不要忘記帶上我們的小朋友哦，讓“快樂勞動”成為小朋友們的必修課吧！

小朋友們可以參與的家務種類非常的多，除了下面列舉的幾種，還有掃地，澆花，自己拿毛巾洗澡等等。其實不論事情大小，最重要的是，他們能夠參與其中并因此而感到自豪哦！
Pick up toys & books 收拾玩具和書
從小培養寶寶的收納能力和規則意識，會大大減少日后媽媽們為了丟滿地的玩具而抓狂的現象哦。
玩好了玩具要怎樣做呢？After playing with the toys what should you do?
寶寶讓我們來打掃吧。My dear let's clean up.
你能把玩具都整理好嗎？Would you please tidy up your toys?
把你的積木撿起來放回盒子里去。Pick up your blocks and put them back to their box.

一日三餐，餐前餐后，小朋友們都可以幫爸爸媽媽整理餐桌，safety first of course！
晚飯馬上做好了，你能幫我擺放一下餐具嗎？Dinner's almost ready, can you help me set the table?

請自己洗小手絹好么？Please wash your handkerchief yourself, would you?
我們幫襪子配對吧。把兩只一樣圖案的放一起，像這樣。Here, let's play matching socks. Put two with the same patterns together, like so. Perfect match!
這些是你的干凈衣服哦。你把它們放回抽屜里吧。These are your clean clothes. Take them back to your drawer, please.
