Last year I used a cookie sheet to make a chore chart for Laurel, and it has been a success. Nicolas has started wanted to help me unload the dishwasher (he hands the dishes to me one by one to put away, and throws all the silverware into a big pile in the silverware drawer...such great help!), so I decided it was time for him to get a chore chart!
I once again bought an 88 cent cookie sheet at Walmart, drilled a couple holes in the top, and spray painted it a dark blue. I'm starting out with only a few chores for him. When he completes a chore, he moves the magnet to the "Done" side. When he gets 2 chores completed, he gets to move Diego one step closer to rescuing the elephant!
When Diego gets to the elephant, Nicolas will get $1. We'll give it to him in dimes, and he gets to put 9 dimes into his piggy bank, and then he will put the other dime into the collection plate at church.
