Mini Lesson
The groceries are home from the store. You can help put them away. Each food has its own place.
🏠 The Life Skills Way (step by step)
- COLD FIRST: milk and ice cream go away first.
- FRIDGE OR FREEZER: cold food goes in the fridge. Frozen food, like peas, goes in the freezer.
- PANTRY: cereal, pasta and cans go in the pantry. Bananas go in the fruit bowl.
- NEW BEHIND OLD: put new food at the back.
- FOLD THE BAGS: fold the empty bags and put them away.
✅ Helper Rules
- HEAVY LOW: a grown-up puts heavy things on a low shelf.
- NO CLIMBING: never climb on the counter.
- ASK: ask a grown-up for the high shelves.
A grown-up puts away glass jars and heavy things. A grown-up puts away cleaning things and medicine - never you.
