DIY: Chore Chart
11:05 AMI am a list person. There is something so fulfilling about checking something off my list of to-dos. I don't necessarily want my children to be just like me in the area of getting things done, but I do want them to have a sense of ownership and responsibility when it comes to the daily tasks I expect them to participate in. Instead of having my son simply check something off a list, I thought it would be fun to make him this simple chore chart.
It was so easy to make.
I simply found some wood from Hobby Lobby. They had it already cut and ready to go. All I had to do was stain it. You could stain or paint it any color.
After I stained the wood, I drew some little chore pictures and modge podged them to the little stained wooden squares. (I am no artist.. I know this!) My husband helped drill small holes at the top of each chore square.
I used wood glue to put a sun and a star on the large piece of wood. I wanted to separate morning and night chores. Plus it looks really cute!
Then I simply screwed in little cup holder hooks evenly so I could hang the chore squares/cards.
