Kids routine chart printable for mornings, after school and bedtime

This kids routine chart printable suits toddlers, preschoolers and school age children. Steps are large and numbered, words are big and friendly, and beside every step sits an empty box for your child's own drawing. Across 8 pages you get morning, after school and bedtime charts, a star tracker for the week, 24 picture schedule cards and a page for calming down. US Letter and A4 PDF files come as an instant download, and no parcel is sent.

Less repeating yourself, more little moments of pride.

How a kids routine chart printable makes days run smoother

Rather than giving the same directions each morning, simply point to the chart and ask what happens next. Every routine has up to 8 numbered steps, each with a box to draw in and a box to mark done, so even kids who can't read yet can follow and enjoy doing it themselves.

Completed routines become colored stars on the weekly tracker. The first then board and a five minute warning soften tricky moments when one activity has to end and another begins. There are no dates, so a new chart or tracker is always ready to print.

Who these routine charts are for

• Parents of toddlers, preschoolers and younger school kids hoping for easier mornings and bedtimes
• Children who can't read yet and thrive with pictures and simple words
• Kids who struggle with switching activities and feel safer knowing what is next
• Caregivers, nannies, grandparents and homeschool families who want everyone on the same routine
