How to Make a Family Chore Schedule

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Create a list of all household activities and menu items. Really think about what things have to happen to make your house function regularly. We talked about this before in T’s 80 second video.
  2. Put your activity card onto a hard card stock. This is optional but I wanted my cards to have a shadow effect with the black showing up behind for some visual interest.
  3. This is optional, but I laminated our cards. I wanted them to remain smudge free so this has helped achieve that!
  4. This is also optional, but since I wanted our cards (initially) to be magnetic, I applied magnets to each card. I bought the large rolls of magnet at the craft store (with a coupon, of course). This is an area the kids got involved again as you can see Andon laying out the cards for momma to poke magnets on below.
  5. We didn’t end up doing the magnetic board as was done in the inspiration post. Honestly, we couldn’t find a board wide enough for each day of the week and all of the tasks the boys needed to complete (well, we could but htey were over $200!). So, I decided to get recipe boxes and keep their cards in the box.
