Chore Chart

Anyone who's baby-sat children regularly know they hate being told what to do...after all, you're not their mom! So I try and do positive reinforcement instead of having to be bossy and create a negative environment. I made this chart last year so that if they did their chores and kept up their schedule, they got a sticker and then could cash in those for treats, trinkets, or special trips for ice cream and stuff. I thought I would share it because it worked out really well!

The first chart I made earlier this year. It was all right for my first attempt, but I wanted to change some things and update the picturesFirst, take pictures and arrange in a word document, print and laminate

Then, punch out each face using my trusty circle punchAttach velcro to each circle and a corresponding velcro piece next to each task

Here's the finished result! I like it so much...thank you photoshop for helping me create beautiful things!!!

After our chores are done, play chess! {Aren't they cute?}
