Now that summer is in full swing and the kids are out of school, they may need help keeping to a routine. Creating a chore chart with your child is a fun way to get him involved in choosing age-appropriate chores and also helps keep a sense of routine in the summer. These DIY charts are so easy to put together and look cute enough to hang on any wall for easy access. Even a toddler can easily move around the Velcro chore tags when he or she is finished with a task!
Materials needed:
- Clipboards
- Circle tags
- Self-adhesive Velcro
- Permanent marker
- Chalk paint
- Chalk
- Wooden letters
Step One: If desired, paint your clipboard with black chalkboard paint and allow it to dry before assembling the chore chart.
Step Two: Using a permanent marker, write chores or draw pictures on the circle shaped tags.
Step Three: Adhere one side of the Velcro to the back of the tags and the other side onto the clipboard.
Step Four: To complete your chart, create “to do” and “done” columns with chalk and attach wooden letter initials with hot glue. Hang on a wall and let your kids get to work!
