this is fantastic. Chores are so improtant for kids-especially once they are 4 or 5 and know they have responsibilities. I was teaching my son how to fold his clothes yesterday (he's 5) and he thought it was kind of neat. Lets see how long that novelty lasts. Thanks for the great chart.

Fabulous chart. I need to create one for my soon to be 4 year old.

Yeah her Laundry is pushing the wet clothes into the dryer and putting stacks of clothes that I give her into drawers.

I got a personalized chore chart on Ebay for my then 5 year old daughter. Each day she has five chores including brushing teeth, setting out clothes for the next day, staying in her own bed all night, piano practice, and gymnastics practice. For every chore she checks off, she earns a quarter. She has NEVER, I repeat NEVER, gotten close to earning the entire amount. I think $3.50 is as close as she's come, but she's happy with that and continues to save for a new Webkin.

I was the kid, when growing up, who made this type of chart for myself and my brother, in hopes of earning some type of allowance (I was just two years older than him, and I think I attempted to start this when I was 8 or so, can't be really certain). I also tried something with using the bottom half of a cardboard egg carton, and then there were beans we'd drop into the corresponding spaces for the chores we had done, and then we'd add those beans up. Those chore management things didn't last that long, since no one really cared if we made our beds or not, for example, and also since my brother and I having any money when we were young was useless too, since we lived in such a rural environment where money served little use for us. My mom felt the best reward for a job well done was a hug, too, so that made the chore charts and stuff phase out fast (all that work for just a hug? Come on now! Haha).

this is totally cool!

Awwwwwww.

I love how saying prayers is a chore.
