Having kids do chores around the house is a great way to teach personal responsibility, time management, and the value of a clean and tidy home. But did you know that even young children can handle many outdoor chores to keep your yard looking great during the spring and summer? It’s true! Before you schedule your spring cleanup services in Montgomery County, PA, sit down with your kids and teach them to tackle these three common yard maintenance tasks.
Watering Plants and Gardens
Do you have a flower or vegetable garden in your yard? Tasking children with watering the plants is a great way to teach responsibility as well as give them a firsthand lesson on science and the environment. Children as young as two years old can help you water the plants with a plastic watering can—just remember to show them how much water to give each plant to avoid root rot and overwatering.
Helping With Laying Mulch.
If you have trees or flower beds that need mulching, let your little ones give you a hand! Young children love getting dirty, and kids of all ages can help you grow your gardens by doing a little mulching.
Cleaning and Putting Away Outdoor Toys
From rideable toy trucks to sandbox shovels, most kids have some kind of outdoor toys they love to play with. Teach children to take care of their favorite possessions by showing them how to wash and put away their toys. Get out a bucket of soapy water and wipe down muddy, dirty, grass-stained, or sandy toys, and give kids a box or area of the garage that’s just for their toys.
Parents and kids can only do so much–sometimes, serious outdoor work requires a team of professionals. As the seasons change and warmer weather arrives, Anthony Landscape’s spring cleanup services in Bucks County can help you enjoy a yard that’s healthy and beautiful.
