Parent signature: ________________ Weekly reward: ________________ ``` --- ### πŸ’‘ Age-appropriate chore ideas (pick 2 per kid per day) **Ava (7)** - Make bed - Put away toys / books - Set the table - Put dirty clothes in hamper - Water houseplants - Wipe the kitchen table after meals - Match socks from laundry - Feed pet (with help) **Leo (10)** - Make bed - Take out trash / recycling - Load or unload dishwasher - Sweep or vacuum a room - Fold and put away laundry - Clean bathroom sink - Bring in mail - Walk/feed pet --- ### ✨ Tips for fridge success - **Use a dry-erase marker:** Slip the printed chart into a sheet protector or laminate it, then kids can check boxes with a dry-erase marker and you can wipe it clean each weekend. - **Rotate chores:** Swap tasks weekly so no one gets stuck with the same job all the time. - **Immediate reward:** A sticker or checkmark right after completion works better than waiting until Friday. Want me to make a **pre-filled version** with specific chores already written in, or a **blank template** you can handwrite on each week?
