Over the years I’ve had a lot of friends ask me to share my entire chore chart process so that they can implement it with their kids too. Today, friends, I’m going to give you all the details so you can make your own DIY magnetic chore chart.
– 2 Magnetic board – Magnetic bull clip – Pushpin magnet – Envelopes – 1 per child – Printer, paper & ink – Scissor – Laminator (optional)
If you don’t opt for lamination, just make sure the charts and cards are hung up properly and well-taken care of so that it lasts a long time. Last, cut out the work for hire cards. The goal is to make these cards look like cash so that your children will visually understand that working equals money.
1. Find the perfect place in your home to display the magnetic boards and mount them to the wall. 2. Once mounted, place the work for hire cards in your bull-clips and put them on your first magnetic board.
3. Place your daily chore chart templates on the second board and add the pushpin magnets in the to-do column. 4. To keep track of the tasks the kids completed, use a bull clip and add an envelope next to the kids’ chore charts. 5. Voila! It’s time to put the system to work.
