It's not unusual for there to be a task chart taped to our kitchen cabinet doors. The typical grid chart was getting so boring that I decided to get creative.
As shown, once all the ladybug dots are colored in (or stickered!) our preschooler earns a treat--- she usually asks to go to the 'dinosaur museum' or children's museum.
These charts are a fun motivational tool...and a good way to keep that positive reinforcement going! I've found that if the chart looks like fun, our little one is more interested.
We also recently updated our phone number poster that hangs on the bottom portion of our fridge.
It now has the photo of our loved one to the left and their phone number to the right.
(We also added a photo of emergency vehicles and '911' at the very top.)
We started using a chart like this when our 5-year old was little. Before I called a relative or friend, I would ask her to refer to the chart and dial the number. It was a fun way for her to learn her numbers and understand how to use the phone (in case of an emergency).
LOL! Why doesn't it surprise me you have a list board (giggle). I was just thinking about you today. I hadn't had much time to check blogs I follow and decided to take a peep at what you were up to. Great idea using photos with the phone numbers. BTW, if your kids want to earn an extra dime or two, bring them over and I will find some baseboard to dust ;-P Hope you are staying well.
