Life skills 5 year old

[Pantheon]

I saw this post recently on another site about a mum teaching her children some life skills over the holidays. I'd like to work on some with my 5 year old dd. I was thinking learning to ride a bike without pedals, more confidence in swimming and learning to tie shoelaces. Obviously I'm not going to put pressure on her, I just mean things to try learning over the summer. She is already good with basic self care things and enjoys helping us make meals. Any other ideas about what is good to know at this age??

How about some basic cooking

Left and right?

I think riding a bike without pedals would be challenging for most people 😉
Basic cooking - I remember learning cakes and scramble eggs at this age

Our school sets up their homework for June as doing chores/learning practical skills - some were, help with shopping, write list get items put them away, washing on, hang up on airier. Put clothes away, tie shoe laces, help clean - sort recycling etc mine always love June homework!

Taking trash out

Making basic snacks

Showering alone and washing properly

Setting the table

At that age all of mine loved having a tack hammer and large-headed nails to hammer in to a big bit of wood (I remember doing this too, when I was wee, loved it).
My DD6 started learning to sew/embroider last year with Aida fabric and loves it… she sees her adult sister and I mending things all the time and wants to help plus she wants to make her own doll dress designs. Mine all began laying the table each night at 5, felt very important.
Re shoe laces - walking boots have good laces to practice with.

Telling the time on an analogue clock is taking much longer than I thought so wish I'd made a start on that earlier

Does she know what to do in an emergency? If I were to collapse at home, similar age ds knows where the landline is, to dial 999, what to say etc.

I've also taught him his address and what to do in different scenarios e.g getting lost in public - speaking to a police officer.

Basic cooking and baking-slowly withdraw your help as she gets more confident.
Call the Emergency services capably.
Look after a pet.
Growing something you can eat -in pots if you don't have a garden. Make her the Family Parsley Provider!
Shopping (again, you gently backing away as she gets more confident.)

Def how to call the emergency services from a locked mobile and what to say.
Make breakfast. And clear away.
Load/unload dishwasher
Sort Washing & load machine
Hang up washing
Sort recycling and bring kerbside
Unpack bag and put away.
Help with dinner

He can already ride a bike, swim etc

These are all great, thank you!
@GingerLiberalFeminist oops haha yes without stabilisers!
@bakewellbride yes I've been chatting to her recently about this actually. Making sure she knows our address and what to do. Although will bring it up again at some point to check. And that she knows how to unlock phone as hadn't thought of that.
