Home Helpers: Kindergarten to Grade 2

Home Helpers teaches kindergarten to second graders the everyday jobs that make a home run: picking up, making the bed, sorting socks, setting the table, washing fruit and vegetables, caring for plants and pets, telling time, packing a bag, a ten-minute tidy, kind words, being ready and safe, and a Helper badge to finish. Ferris the Fox and the Tomorrow Trail friends show each job as simple steps. Every line is read aloud and every answer is a tap. Saturday is Family Helper Day, when the child does the week's job at home with a grown-up. Every week is free.

• Notice a job that needs doing and do it without being asked
• Make a bed, sort socks, fold a towel and set a table in clear steps
• Wash hands and produce, measure and stir as a kitchen helper, with no heat or knives
• Care for a plant and a pet with gentle hands
• Read the hour on a clock and follow a morning routine
• Use please, thank you and a thank-you note
• Know who to ask for help and what to do for a scrape or when separated

Every week is free. No card, ever.
