Some of my earliest kitchen memories have to do with cleaning, not cooking. When I was still quite little — perhaps four years old — my mom would put a step stool next to the sink and let me dry the silverware with a fuzzy dishtowel. I would put on an apron and feel very grown-up. I do have cherished memories of cooking while I was a kid, but I have equally fond memories of cleaning up the kitchen. I am curious how our readers approach this with their own kids, from toddlers to teens: Do they help you clean up the kitchen?

My 2 year old Mathilde, helped make "Star Keys" (star biscuits, or cookies). She also loves helping clean, and everytime I walk towards the kitchen now she drags her step stool, and points at herself and says HELP? too cute
I have very strong memories of helping with the dishes every night I was at my grandmother's house. Soapy water, bubbles, splashes and making a mess while 'helping' were what I remember best. Now my little girls are lucky enough to do this with her whenever they visit!
