DIY Chore Chart

"Ella, your room is dirty."

Instead - maybe we should just say - go ahead.  Have a meltdown...now! That's about what happens when we say the words "clean up".  Melt down.  My oldest needs specific directions and time lines.  She does not do well with general.  So we decided in a last attempt before taking ALL the toys away (no snickering, Mom, I remember toys of my own things being tossed up the attic stairs - maybe I am seeing where Ella gets it from...) to try a chore cart so she would have specific things to do.

She loved the idea - and getting to craft!

this was the old chart - pretty pathetic! 

Supplies needed : Clothes hangers, craft sticks, mod podge, and scrap book paper.  

Paint the Mod Podge onto the craft stick.  Stick it to the white side of your scapbook paper. 

Handy dandy box cutter - or exact o knife

Cut the excess paper off your craft stick. 

My Mod Podge skills stink- and I had a helper  :)  But even when they are wrinkly you still can't see it from a distance. 

Hot glue your clothes pin to the back. 

Take time out to play with your middle child and her new ballerina.

I took a ribbon and hung it under their chalk board to hang their chores. 

Tadaa! I have to make a few more...but you get the idea!
