Toddler Chore Charts

I was looking for something to motivate my toddler (and myself) to not just always ask for a TV show or computer time. He's obsessed with both, even though I really try to limit it. I saw several things on Pinterest and other places online that I liked, but nothing was exactly what I wanted so I created my own versions.

It's really simple, but he LOVES it! When I'm consistent about doing it, it works really well. He calls it "the matching game" and sees it as a game in itself. It really helps us remember all the options there are! On good days he doesn't even ask for TV or computer time because he gets busy playing.

Here’s what it looks like. I just tape ours to the fridge since we have a non-magnetic stainless steel front.





I also made a second chart based on a great church lesson. The main idea was that there are 4 things we should do every day, and that we should teach them to our kids, too. Since he already loved the matching game concept it made perfect sense to just add a second one.
