It’s hard to balance getting the household chores done, dinner cooked, shopping done … and still have time to spend with your family. “Parents” magazine suggests doing some of these things together. Specifically, they mention the idea of making washing the car a fun event:
If you get the whole family involved in washing the car, this chore can be a blast!”
We’ve done this recently. With the heat coming on strong already, it’s a great way to get outside while getting a much needed chore accomplished. Kids can help wash the car, rinse off … and, if you’re extra clever give the kids a “shower” in the process!

Andy Aldridge says
While on vacation a few years ago, my daughter asked if she could help us cook. She was three at the time so we let her cook her own imaginary meal using dry spaghetti, bits of paper towel and a spoon.
Now she’s six and she loves to help us cook. She’s helped make birthday brownies, Saturday morning pancakes, cheese pizzas, etc. Letting her help with the cooking takes some patience but it is great quality time with her.
She loves to help wash the car too but water restrictions keep us from doing it as much.
