How to use it
Choose a few small jobs your child can already mostly do.
Show each job together a few times before adding it.
Hang the chart on the fridge or the bedroom door.
Mark each day with a sticker or a check when the job is done.
Make it last: print on cardstock, laminate it or slip it into a sheet protector, and use a dry-erase marker or Velcro dots so you can use it again.
Questions parents ask
How many chores should a young child have?
Start with two or three and add more once those feel easy. Five to seven is plenty for most young kids.
What if my child can’t read yet?
Use the picture cards. A picture and one word is enough for a child to follow along.
Is my child’s name saved anywhere?
No. A name you type stays in your browser so it can print on the sheet. It is never sent to us.
Is it really free?
Yes. One email unlocks this and every other tool in the library, and you can print as many as you like. Your email also brings one short story each Tuesday, and you can leave anytime.
Read it with a story
