Try giving your toddler small chores to do. In order for success, the items need to be within reach.
Our 1 year old can do many chores such as setting the table, clearing condiments off the table after dinner and placing them into the refrigerator, holding the dustpan while sweeping, putting dirty clothes in the hamper, bringing clean diapers for the baby, throwing dirty diapers in the garbage, and collecting his coat, hat, gloves and shoes to put on before going outside.
