Chore Cards for Kids: 60 Jobs by Age and Room, 3 x 5 and 4 x 6 in

Chore cards turn household jobs into small, clear tasks your children can handle on their own. You get 60 ready-written jobs grouped by room and age, and each one lists three easy steps, the time it takes, its points and how often it comes up.

The set has 32 undated pages. The cards are exact 3 x 5 in and 4 x 6 in sizes with crop marks, laid out on US Letter and A4 sheets, and the PDF downloads instantly. Nothing is posted to you.

How these chore cards bring calm to family jobs

A child picks up a card, reads the three short steps, does the job and checks it off. No long speech from a parent is needed. Every card shows a suggested age, from 2 up to 13 and older, and the age guide tells you which card numbers suit each stage.

Fairness is built in too. Family member cards, a points and reward card and daily and weekly rotation cards share the work out, so the same person is never stuck taking out the trash. The set has no dates, so you can begin on any day and simply reprint a card that goes missing or gets worn.

Who will love this chore system

• Parents worn out by repeating themselves who want kids to see clearly what done means
• Families with kids of several ages who need jobs that match each stage
• Homes that run on points and rewards, or link pocket money to chores
• Anyone who would rather use a neat card box or a fridge clip than a large wall chart

Design, card sizes and printing

• Clean, minimal layout on white with soft blush pink touches that need very little ink
• Generous margins on all pages, so a home printer will not crop anything
• Exact trim sizes with crop marks: 3 x 5 in (7.6 x 12.7 cm, three per sheet) and 4 x 6 in (10.2 x 15.2 cm, two per sheet), on US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and A4 (210 x 297 mm) paper
• No dates, so the system can start whenever you are ready
• When you print double sided and flip on the long edge, the lined and dot grid backs match up with the fronts
• Simple line icons with black and pink details that come out well on home printers
