Here are 5 chores you can teach your kids to do, today, that will save you precious time. 1. Sewing Today's special lesson was sewing. \u00a0Sure they can do it for fun (or as baby girl told me - \"relaxation\"), but when buttons come off or underwear gets a hole, their skills with a needle and thread can be useful. \u00a0When your kids get to the \"I can do it by myself\" phase, they may not ACTUALLY be old enough or capable of doing it. \u00a0Sewing is one of those chores that is easy to teach, and when they get older, will save you time by putting their simple clothing repairs on their plate instead of yours.
