Helping Hands

I have always been keen to let the kids help doing house work so that when I really need them to help it doesn't seem like  a chore to them. They have cleaned windows, washed floors but never ironed, until now!

I enjoy ironing, especially if it is done while watching some rubbish on the TV so I was not in any desperate hurry to get the kids to do their own but when they asked if they could have a go I seized the moment...



They loved it! They were so proud of their ironed clothes, I had to take photos of each item, I will spare you all the photos though!



Big E ended up doing his whole school uniform, little e did most of her clothes and they argued about who was going to get to do Mummy and Daddy's!

I should say I did watch them and guide them but they knew what to do and where not to touch. Also it was a bit of a science lesson, water, steam etc, all round great fun!
