PB&J
Invite your child to help you make lunch with a two-step recipe.
Gather bread slices, soft peanut butter, jelly, and a small spreader.
After washing and drying hands, encourage your child to spread peanut butter
on a slice of bread. (Warming the peanut butter in a microwave makes it easier
to spread!)
Next, have her smooth the jelly on top of another piece of bread and press the
slices together.
As a variation, use other two-step recipes such as hummus and cucumber on
pita or lunchmeat and cheese on wheat bread.
Two Step Clean Up
Try to plan several short clean up times throughout the day, rather than one
long one.
Give your child two-step directions for helping to clean up.
Say, for example, “Pick up the book and put it on the shelf” or “Push your dump
trunk to the sandbox and dump out the sand.”
As you thank your child for helping, you can repeat the two-step directions he
followed, “Thank you for picking up the book and putting it on the shelf.”
