Hi Jeska,

Here some ideas you could use:

packing away indoors/outdoors picking up toys off the floor, putting activities away in baskets

meal times setting the table, feeding themselves, pouring own drinks, scraping bowls

toileting pulling up and down their own pants, wiping themselves after going to toilet, flushing toilet, washing hands

preparation to transition from indoors to outdoors putting on their own sunscreen, collecting and putting on their own hats, putting on shoes

caring for own belongings putting dummies & comforters in their bags, looking after toys brought from home, wearing a paint smock during messy activities, putting paintings drawings in their bags

caring for the garden using water cans to water the garden, planting seeds, digging up weeds, watering flowers

caring for equipment, such as puzzles, books, games with loose parts putting activities in the right spot, picking up pieces on the floor, putting lids on textas, putting books on the bookshelf

Hopefully this gives you a head start,
