Greetings,
It sounds like your children are already moving in the right direction, in terms of learning responsibility and the value of cleanliness. Congratulations on your hard work so far!
Most psychologists recommend that parents make an effort to choose age-appropriate chores, as well as limit the number of chores to help children feel successful upon completing their chores. Experts often recommend one chore for each age of the child.
For some ideas regarding specific chores, take a look at the following resources:
