Your Trip Clip Magnet Board can hang on any magnetic surface, like your refrigerator.

If your fridge isn’t magnetic, or if you want your chart to be in your child’s room, a cookie sheet works great, and you can buy a cookie sheet for just $1 at DollarTree.

Heather also used a cookie sheet, though she painted hers first and then screwed it to the wall to use the back of the cookie sheet to put her girls’ magnet boards side by side:

Another customer bought a magnetic white board, and drew her own To Do / Done frame to use with magnets from The Trip Clip:

You can also use the Magnetic Checklist Activity to make a VELCRO board.

Here’s how you can do this yourself for just $15:

1. Instead of buying the Magnet Bundle, buy 5 Website Activities from The Trip Clip. ($5)
2. Once you have an account on the website, click Activities in the menu bar, and go to the Magnetic Checklist Activity.  Click Add to add this activity to your account.
3. Print your To Do / Done Board by clicking the To Do / Done radio button under Print Settings on the left side of the screen. You’ll be able to put your child’s name at the top of the board and choose the color for the name before you print.
4. Trim your To Do / Done board to 10 in x 7.5 in.
5. Laminate your To Do / Done Board with a laminating machine, or with these self-adhesive laminating sheets.  ($7)
6. Go back to the Magnetic Checklist Activity and this time select “Magnet Stamps” under Print Settings.
7. Print, laminate, and cut apart your custom stamps.
8. Apply VELCRO dots to your To Do / Done Board and your Magnet stamps.  The ones I recommend here are just the right size/sticky-ness to work well with a VELCRO board hanging on the wall. ($3)
9. Hang up your To Do / Done Board anywhere you like and you’re ready to go!

Chores are a great way to teach responsibility, as well as a ton of important life skills. Many parents aren’t sure what to expect of their kids, so here is a good list of chores that most 10-15 year olds can learn.

You can easily edit this list to make it just right for your family.  And remember that kids shouldn’t have these skilled mastered at age 10! Sometime between ages 10 and 15 you can introduce these chores, teach your kids how to do them, and give them chances to practice and eventually master them.

You can also give them some goals as motivation to keep them going. Once they’ve kept track for a month, you can try some of the ideas below for the next month, depending on what you’re hoping to accomplish:

• Match It: If they’re already really active, have them match their activity the next month
• Beat It: If your aim is to get them moving more, ask them to see if they can beat each count by 1 the next month.
• Try Something New: Maybe they need to find something they enjoy more, so add a new thing each month (and remove the thing they did the least the previous month) and see if they find something they enjoy more
• Self Awareness: Give them 1 solo activity,  1 activity with a buddy, 1 group activity, 1 indoor activity, and 1 outdoor activity and see which ones they do the most.  They’ll learn about what kind of activity works best for them!

You can print this one for free, or use The Trip Clip website to edit this and list choose activities that are better suited to your child. Here’s a Bingo Board full of great ideas to start with:
