We know that keeping an organized home is difficult. Moreover, it’s too easy to get distracted and lose track of chores, especially when you have kids in the house. Juggling the demands of work, school, hobbies, and relationships makes it hard to keep everyone on track with their chores. Plus, knowing where to start and creating a plan for managing housework can be hard. That’s why we create the chores chart for kids to help them get organized!
Our chores charts come in English & Bilingual Chinese (Traditional, Simplified, Pinyin, Zhuyin).
My 6-year-old daughter kept requesting for allowance and I found this as a great opportunity to complement this with a chores chart. After I created this chores chart, she was very eager to complete the tasks and felt so rewarded when it was her “payday”. Indeed, it is a great way for her to start learning the value of money.
