One of the more popular posts I have done is
How to Make a Chore Chart System For Your Children.
Since there has been so much interest on the subject, I decided to do a part 2!
I have learned that with my boys, they love it when I switch things up.
Anything to make chores fun, right?????
These were my favorites.
This ice cream cone chore chart is adorable for preschoolers.
This is a fun way to liven up the chores.
I am definitely going to make these.
If you just want to make a basic printable chore chart, this is an easy site to make one and it’s free!
If you are not sure what chores are appropriate for which age, I found this fabulous printable.
It not only designates what chores are appropriate, but also gives a goal of life skills to teach at certain ages!

For those of you that prefer an online chore/behavior reward system, here is a fun app I found.
Jo Frost Rewards – aka Super Nanny (also available for Android)
You can add the names of your children, chores, behavior and rewards and then assign points to everything! If your kids are tech savvy like mine, it might be a great option. If your children are like my oldest, they can probably set the whole thing up for you too! My boys love this way of tracking their chores.
Lastly, if you are looking for a great chore chart for mommy this is my favorite!!
Motivated Moms keeps me on track for those days when I don’t feel very disciplined. I’ve used the print out version and now I have the app for my phone and I love it!!! Yes, even moms need chore charts, at least this mom does.
I am going to let you in on a little secret…
I am a horrible housekeeper,
ssshhh don’t tell anyone
(Don’t worry my husband already knows!)
So this little gem has come in quite handy. At least it gives me a place to start and I love checking off the little boxes!
I hope you found some new ideas to motivate you.
I know I did.
Spring is just around the corner, time for the cleaning to begin!!!
Thanks Mandy for having me!!
Tracie, This is awesome! I love the list of age appropriate skills. (Kind of helps us moms with older kids know “where” they should be in life…and ouch I think we’ve dropped the ball.)
Love your posts!
