Free Printable Visual Schedule for Kids
Mornings can be C.R.A.Z.Y.! I’ve seen it all, from refusals to brush teeth to heading out the door (10 minutes late) with sobbing kids in tow. This free printable visual schedule for home is a lifesaver! There are so many benefits of a visual schedule for kids! The visual supports help create a morning routine and after school routine that will help everyone’s day be more manageable. My favorite part is that it sets the tone, creates consistency, and empowers them to be responsible!
Benefits of a Visual Schedule for Kids:
As a parent, one of our jobs is to help our kids become responsible adults. My goal is to raise kids who feel they can achieve whatever they put their minds to!
One of the benefits of visual schedules for daily routines is that it helps create independent kids, who will then become successful adults!
Have You Used Visual Schedules with Your Kids?
You will be amazed at the transformation that can occur after implementing this simple visual aid. Your kids will want to take care of each and every step because they will be gratified each and every time they get to move a picture onto the “finished” grid!
This colorful and fun free printable visual schedule for home is easy to use and offers the kids a steady routine. This also makes for a more stress-free home environment for mom, dad and the kids!
For the after school routine for kids, we have slots for hanging up their backpacks, snack time, homework, free play time, and chores. It really helps keep us on track when the kids come home. Instead of having them walk in the door to complete chaos.
After we eat supper, and the kids are ready for bed, they can use the printable visual schedule for their bedtime routine like brushing their teeth or reading a book by swapping out the routine cards to create a custom checklist for kids to use.
Our printable picture schedule has spaces on the chart for your child’s morning routine visual schedule, including getting dressed, brushing their hair, making their bed, eating breakfast, and preparing lunch. Seeing this sequence of events will help your kids stay on track with their morning tasks.
Our kids feel more secure when they have a steady routine in place. Secure kids are better equipped to handle changes, setbacks, and emotions. This enables the kids to focus on school work and have a better school day, which can then take some pressure off their dedicated teachers!
There are so many wonderful benefits to using a visual schedule for kids!
