Morning Routine Chart for Kids

About this worksheet

A morning routine chart with eight picture steps in order: make my bed, use the potty, wash hands and face, get dressed, eat breakfast, brush my teeth, brush my hair, shoes and backpack. Each step is a numbered card with a color picture and a check box, plus a line for the time to be out the door. Put it in a sheet protector and reuse it every morning with a dry-erase marker. It is made for toddlers and preschoolers, ages 2 to 5, with big spaces and pictures instead of words.

Tips for using it

• Choose one goal per reward chart and say it in positive words: stay in bed all night, not no getting up.
• Agree on the reward before the first star, write it in the reward box and keep it small and doable.
• Hang the chart at your child's eye level on the fridge and let them add the sticker or color the star themselves.
• Give the star right after the behavior. A star at bedtime for something done in the morning means less to a 3 year old.

Printing tips
