Review on Jennakate 2-Child Chore Chart - Magnetic Daily Household Checklist - 17" X 14", Dry Erase + Markers - Reward Good Behavior! by Tracy Meyer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great Chore Chart! in my review

We had been looking for a good way to track chores in our house for a while when we came upon this one. It is a very clear way for our children to see what the chores are, which ones have been accomplished, and how many "points" they've accumulated. As you can see in the picture, we modified it a bit so instead of having "Weekly" chores, we put the dates of the weeks that we were tracking. Our chores are more daily than anything, so it made more sense to put the weeks in with their totals so that at the end of the month (or whenever 4 weeks are up) we can calculate. I also like that there is a place to write the "Reward." We are also able to decide how many points we want the kids to have in order to get said reward.The only complaint I have, which is why I gave it 4 stars out of 5, is that the chalk markers that came with it don't work very well. The first time we used them they were great--vibrant and not runny, but every time after that they would run and drip into other boxes and were pretty dull. So, we ended up just getting regular Expo dry erase markers, which work just as well, they just aren't as exciting.I would ultimately recommend this product, however, because it is so hard to help kids keep track of their responsibilities as they get older and we are happy to have found a system that works so far.

Pros
  • The magnetic surface is durable and long-lasting
Cons
  • May not be an effective solution for households with clutter or disorganization issues
