Cut out the wavy rectangle slightly larger than your 5 X 7 inch rectangle that you traced in Step 2. Next, draw out your chart. The days will be written at the top of each column and the chores will be written in each row. Our chart shown here contains only five columns (Mondy-Friday).

Decorate your chart and allow it to dry. We used glitter paint for the days of the week, water-based paint for the background and a pen to write the details.

Complete your project by gluing a fun sea creature to the corner of the chart. We made an octopus by cutting a purple fuzzy stick into eight 1/2-inch pieces, then glue it to a shimmer pom with wiggly eyes.

Now hang up your chart on the fridge and track your child’s daily progress with fun characters.
