These printed out beautifully. Exactly as pictured. I can’t believe how much my 3 year old loves them. She is already started to remember the pictures and doing the next step of her routine without reminders! I would absolutely buy an expansion pack with more chores for when she gets older f you ever make one!

AWESOME! I’m so glad 🙂

Love these but what are your suggestions for how to use them? i.e. once he completes a chore or process, …. affix them to a board of some kind? Looking for ideas….

I’m so glad you asked. I have a whole post detailing how we use them in our home! Find it here: http://www.themilitarywifeandmom.com/printable-routine-cards-for-toddlers-preschoolers/

I picked up these routine cards this week from The Military Wife and Mom because my 3 year old tends to put up a fight when getting ready to leave the house, or go to bed. Or eat a meal. Or start her day. 😳😆
These made a HUGE difference in like one day.
Instead of reminding and counting down and trying to avoid meltdowns, last night we sang the Olaf song as she cheerfully picked out her Olaf underwear and put them on.
This morning she pumped her fist and said, “the last one is ‘comb hair!'” before she came into the bathroom and started brushing her own hair.
I’m sold!
I truly love these and think any toddler mom could benefit!

The routine cards are life changing! My son has ADHD and our mornings and bedtimes were brutal on both of us and often ended in him feeling bad about himself and me feeling guilty for not knowing how to help him to be more successful and me to be more patient. Well these cards were the answer for us. He feels more independent and accomplished and I don’t have to nag him or feel as frustrated. It’s a win win for us! A tip for anyone who has two levels, we have two boards, one with the things he does upstairs and one with the things he does downstairs.

Absolutely love these routine cards, and the chore cards. How about a set for moms?! Like all the bathroom items (clean toilet, mop floors, scrub tub), kitchen items (clean over, mop floor, wipe fridge), vacuum living room, vacuum mattress etc! I’m always trying to get these things done, it would be great to grab a card or two each night to keep me on track so I’m not always trying to do these things on the weekend.

just wanting to know if there is one that says take a shower instead of bath? or can you provide a list of what each one has written, hoping i can use them all
themilitarywifeandmom@gmail.com –
Yes! There is now shower, bath, toilet, potty, brush, comb, pack bag, unpack bag, take off shoes. An editable template is included so you can edit and create your very own custom cards in a few minutes time using either Mac Pages or Microsoft Word. And there is also a set of cards with only pictures and no words, so you can write in your own words too! Hope this helps!

These cards are fantastic! My 2.5 year old son is totally on board, which is wonderful! I had an issue downloading them after purchase, and Lauren sent me the files immediately, no questions asked. She’s been above an beyond helpful. A++++++ all around!!!
