Mess

From Mummy:
This is the kind of mess Elliot would create everyday. He'll pour out all the toys that I have organised and put together in different containers and play for less then 5 mins or not play at all,leaving them scattered all ard the house.

An idea that u can try to get him to help you clear up.

Get a timer with buzz and challenge him to a game of "beat the clock". Tell Elliot that he must try to pack as much toy as he can before the timer buzz.

First set the timer to just merely 20 sec, you will show Elliot how to pack and when the timer buzz, u will tell Elliot like "Oh, this is how much mommy can pack before the clock strike. Can Elliot do better than mommy?"

Now set the timer to 30 sec for Elliot and see how much tidying Elliot can do. He will not be able to finish, but tell him it is okay, tell him he will get another chance.

This time, set the timer to 60 sec. Repeat to a max of 3 more times or until the mess had been cleared by Elliot.

Hope it works for you. :)

Love from LM
