How it works
Three steps from a blank week to a chore chart your child follows.
-
1
Drag in chores
Pick from picture chores — make the bed, brush teeth, tidy up, clear your plate, feed the pet — and drag them onto each day. Little kids read the pictures, not the words.
-
2
Personalize the chart
Add your child's name, tap a day to mark today, and use "Every day" for the chores that repeat — like brushing teeth or putting toys away.
-
3
Print it out
Print the finished chore chart for the fridge — or a cut-out version your child can rearrange with velcro, or a black-and-white version they color in and own.
Two chart styles, one builder
Every chore chart you build can print as either of the two formats parents reach for most.
Weekly chore grid
The classic fridge chart: chores down the side, Monday to Sunday across the top, a box to check off each day. Print it filled, or print a blank grid with cut-out chore cards your child rearranges every week.
Daily routine checklist
A single day your child works straight down — morning chores, after-school chores, bedtime jobs. Great for younger kids and for building a steady morning routine, one checked box at a time.
Made for the daily grind
A chore routine the whole house can see, built in a couple of minutes.
For parents
The nagging stops when the list is visible. A chore chart on the fridge makes responsibilities clear, turns "did you do your jobs?" into "check your chart," and lets your child take ownership instead of waiting to be told.
For building habits
Checking off a box feels good — and that small win is what makes a routine stick. A visible, repeatable chart turns one-off reminders into habits your child does on their own.
For the whole family
Print a chart per child, or one shared chart for the household. Picture chores work for pre-readers and grade-schoolers alike — no licensed clip-art pack to buy, no Canva account to fight.
Build once, reuse every week
Print it once, rearrange it forever
The most-loved version isn't fixed at all. Print a blank chore grid plus a sheet of cut-out chore cards, and your child builds the week with their own hands — every week.
-
1
Print the grid + cards
Print a blank Mon–Sun chore grid and a sheet of matching chore cards. Laminate them once for a set that lasts the whole year.
-
2
Add velcro or magnets
Stick a dot of velcro (or a magnet) on each card and on the grid. Now the cards move — onto the fridge, a board, or the laminated grid.
-
3
Let them build the week
Each morning your child places today's chore cards themselves, and moves them to "done" as they go. The chart becomes a hands-on job instead of a poster they ignore.
