A 2-year-old can tackle chores that make the most of their big arm muscles. They can help scrub, tear, snap, or dip.
A 3-year-old's medium muscles and hands can wrap, pour, mix, shake, and spread.
Since a 4-year-old has control of small muscles, get them to peel, roll, juice, crack eggs, and mash.
Get a 5-year-old to strengthen coordination by having them measure, cut, grind, and beat eggs.
A 7- to 9-year-old can show responsibility by using the stove or the microwave (but only with adult supervision).
