Hippo's Hungry for a Routine

Posted by JeanneSager

If trying to get your kids off to beddie bye is a nightmare in itself, how about putting them in charge? At least in charge of checking off the routine. 

This Hippo Gets Ready for Bedtime chart sports pictures of cute purple hippos doing all the getting ready for bed chores that need to be done. Attached across the bottom of the board by Velcro, they easily come off for little hands and just as easily reattach across the top to let kids "check off" chores that are complete. 

With twenty choices of chores and seven slots for "what needs to be done," you can pick your kids' biggest hang-ups and let them take control of checking each of them off. For older kids, the chart gives them a little independence, and let's you check to see everything's getting done. 

Get one from Excited 2 Learn for $27.95.
