Default Chore chart

I was curious if anybody has made a chore chart for their kids with digi supplies. I want to make it as fun as I can so that they are excited to help mom out. My older two are 7 and 4 1/2. I would love to see ideas if you have them!

Mindy,
I think your chore chart would be wonderful if it were digital. Especially if it used some of your icons

Now I am inspired! I have chore charts for my kids that are laminated and they use dry erase markers, but they are not nearly so cute! Maybe if they looked more fun the girls might use them!

These turned out great! I want to do one with actual pictures that depict what they're doing since they can't read. That's where I get stuck!

that's a great idea! i've got the toy bins in the play room labeled with both the word and a picture, and even at 2 1/2 my boys were able to tell which toys went where.

You can write on laminated paper with a dry erase marker? I did not know this. . .

I am laminating them and then I got those little sticky dots with velcro and I made a little mushroom to stick on my son's and my daughters has a little flower. Whatever you can do to make it fun from them!!
