A lot of it depends on your style and what you do in the kitchen, as well as your tolerance level. Teaching them to cut is a great place to start though, and I would start with a banana. My little guy helps A LOT with baking - pouring ingredients into the bowl, mostly, but he likes that he gets to help on every step. He also loves to push the buttons on our blender! For vinegar and water, I just pour a "dollop" into my 32oz. spray bottle and fill the rest with water. I use full strength vinegar to clean the shower and toilet. Definitely not rocket science! For sanitizing, I use 50/50 hydrogen peroxide (the drugstore kind) and water in one bottle and vinegar in another. In August or September I'll be posting on homemade/green cleaners, if you can wait that long for more info! I am definitely planning some posts about how to let the children help in the kitchen.

I have a very busy almost 2.5 year old and almost 18 month old that I would love to have 'helping'. I am definitely going to try this out with the cutting. I am also very curious to hear what kind of mixture/ratio you use to clean the floor with vinegar and water. I have been researching ideas and recipes for homemade cleaners.
