This Light Up Chore Chart Is Perfect for the Littlest Kids

If you liked the concept of checking tasks off a chart as shown in this post, you’ll love this version that’s easy and fun even for toddlers.

Even your toddlers can get accustomed to routines and getting things done with this fun incentive.

It makes it fun to cross things off the list, and it’s easy for them to understand. This is perfect for your two-year-olds all the way up to the five year olds who can’t quite read yet.

Your toddler (especially those little ones in the “I can do it myself stage”) will love being able to understand what they need to do on their own. They love feeling independent, and the pictures make it possible!

Once they finish a task, they bop a light to turn it on. That makes it extra fun. 

Whether you want to use this chore chart to get ready for school or get to bed, it’s customizable to fit your needs. 

You can either download, print and cut out the images you see here. Or, another idea: Take a photo of your own child doing the tasks. 

Use painter’s tape to affix the pictures or photos to the wall. Then, place the Tap Lights next to them. (Note that you will need Triple A batteries.) The Tap Lights include adhesive on the back so they’re easy to stick on and easy to remove.

Now that it’s set up, they’ll be so excited to get tapping!

If you want to make it even more exciting, this set of 6 lights has different color options, plus you can set them to turn off after 30 or 60 minutes. 

While it’s more fun to turn on the light, an alternative way to do it is to turn on all the lights, and tap them closed as each one is accomplished. When the lights are all closed, it’s time to go to bed!

Download the pictures here, print, and let your kids get tapping as they go off to bed!

    I am a big fan of your site-and usually love your tips. However the toddlers I know would be popping those lights on and off all the time and not waiting to complete their tasks!

      you can have it high up that you have to lift the kid to reach it. and explain that you only press it when you are finished/when you ask mommy and she says you are ready to press it.

    If you want to really go big with this, get the skylight calendar- it’s completely changed our home and have my kids making their beds, cleaning the kitchen, packing their own backpacks, brushing their teeth, sorting laundry (and even putting in loads!!), erev shabbos jobs, doing homework etc etc! Literally a miracle because prior to using it my kids were doing pretty much nothing to contribute to the household chores. Total game changer!
