And it's not even something we do very often, since we have a dishwasher - and if I do handwash then it's glass and delicate.

Of course...that's a great one for them. And yes, dusting is good too. I try not to let her do it too much because she tends to get congested rather easily, but it's a super easy chore for the young ones to do. Making the bed! Of course…that's a great one for them.
