Cleaning up

Anyone teaching their LO to clean up yet? Is it to early to do this?  I hav started just saying lets clean up then I start and ask him to put specific things away as I hand them to him, and he does.... But he gets bored fast....

We've been having him help us pick up his toys for a while now.  But he's hit or miss.  Sometimes he jumps right in and picks things up.  Sometimes he wanders off.  He's fabulous at daycare about putting things away though.
