[blparent] blparent re chore lists

[Erin Rumer]

This is great and magnet strips work great in the same way.  You can
purchase sheets of magnet from an office store, Braille whatever you like on
to it and cut them to size.  Keep them on your refrigerator or a magnet
board and reuse them and move them around as needed.  This is how I envision
I will do the chore list if I don't simply use an App on our iPhones or
iPad.  I haven't looked but I'm sure they've got some cool electronic chore
lists and ways to keep track, remind and even positively encourage  a child
with their chores.

Take care!

Erin

Hi, Stephanie!
  I like using velcro and braille in combination with print or pictures.  I
have done chore charts several different ways, but one way that is easy
after you do the initial set-up is to make little cards "maybe like half the
size of index cards) with print and braille on the front (or pictures and
braille if kids are not reading yet).  Then I put Velcro on the back, and I
have something that the velcro can stick to, which could be either a cloth
or a paper with the corresponding backs to the Velcro.
Then you can just put the names like you have across the top, and you can
add whichever chore from your supply of chore list cards and just stick it
on under the kids' names in their column with Velcro.  When the chore is
finished, they could take the chore off the list by pulling it off the
velcro, or if you were interested, I suppose you could make little velcro
stars or happy faces, but I didn't do that.  I like Velcro because you can
just reuse the chore cards, and you don't have to waste paper or write
things again and again, and it's easy for all ages to use.  You can use lots
of eye-catching colors for the print writing or have your little one draw
pictures that you use for the picture-based ones like a picture of a kid
feeding the cat or just a cat dish, depending on how much they like to draw.
You could even use little photos of the chores, I guess, though I didn't.
  Good luck! Have fun with it!
  Dawn
