Chores - Monkey

I bought this chore chart for my boyfriend's little girl (7) to help her keep track of her daily routine. So far, both dad and little one are enjoying it. She likes the monkeys, she said! And is doing very well with it by herself. My son has the same one when he was young (it was bears then), and he loved his, too!

I bought one for my older child (now 7), and just bought another for my younger child. The older one was completely uninterested in it, until the younger one got a chore board, because the older one is so competitive! It works for accountability, but don't expect all the chores to actually get done. if you want a particular chore to be finished (picking up stuff around the house is my top issue), make it worth more than one token, and that helps motivation. The board is well constructed and the provided stickers are good. We use about half of them, and made up about 4 more per kid (pack back-pack, find library books, put dirty laundry in laundry room). I wish more were available to download and print at home after you've already bought the kit.

I looked thru several different types of chore charts before settling on this one and I have been very pleased. I bought this chart for my 4.5 year old and bought a second for future use with my youngest child who is currently just 2. I was looking for something with pictures since they are not reading quite yet. The set up for this particular chart is very accommodating. There are the blank stickers to fill in which you can then place on the color card of your choice, prefilled out stickers to place on color card of your choice and some cards with stickers already applied. There is also a paper of suggested ways to use the chart. The cards are color coded for the time of day they should be doing each chore. This helps in areas such as "cleaning your plate from the table" which you can place on a morning, noon and evening card for each meal. There are plenty multiples of such stickers so they can be repeated. The board itself comes with a hook opening on top and a fold out easel type prop on back. I believe it did come with a hook as well but we prefer to keep ours on the fridge so we bought some small magnets and stuck them to the back of the board. This has been very easy for my 4 year old to use without much, if any assistance from me. Tokens are also included to use as a reward system. It has really taught him the value of saving and spending.

Very happy with this product. My 4-year old was excited to put the stickers on and then put the cards in the little box when she completed a task. Great way for kids to stay on track for what task needs to be completed during a particular time of day.

This looked so promising, until I received it and all of the "stickers" literally fell off of the page and would not stick to anything. This left me with a bunch of blank, colored cards. I thought maybe it was a fluke, until I received the second one that I had ordered, and the same exact thing happened. Completely ineffective. I returned both for a full refund.

It's a thin piece of cardboard with 3m hooks... You can make it yourself for half the price... My 3 year old lost intrest after 3 days

I was a bit disappointed when I removed it from the package and noticed it was essentially reinforced cardboard. Although, the kids like them and you can write your own chores on the cards, so that works. There's no holder for the tokens, so if you use them you will need to come up with a separate place/container for them.

My kids took right to this chart. They got upset when I didnt have it finished. Giving them simple chores for there age, in which they can earn rewards was a great way for mom to stop nagging to get things done and for kids to want to do things to help mom.
