Chore List for 4-Year-Old

What are appropriate chores for a 4-year-old?

The following list includes chores for four-year-olds but it is important to recognize that each child develops at a different pace and it is only meant to help you understand which chores are typical for 4-year-olds. However, not all kids will be capable of doing all of these chores. If not, adapt the chore list accordingly.

– bring in the newspaper or mail

– water plants

Responsibility Chart

This responsibility chart lists a child’s daily responsibilities with an image next to each one since your four-year-old most probably cannot read yet.

In addition to the chores that a child is required or asked to do at home, children have responsibilities for their basic hygiene and their own personal responsibilities. For a four-year-old, responsibilities could include making their bed, putting toys away when they have finished playing, putting their dirty plates in the dishwasher, etc. Since they cannot read, this responsibility chart includes pictures to help them understand what they need to do. Take a photo of each task and add it to the chart. For example, if you want to add “tidy your room” to the chart then take a photo of them tidying their room. If you don’t want to bother taking photos and personalizing the chart then use photos from the gallery.
