PRODUCT DETAILS

Having a routine helps your child to feel more secure and confident. Structure also helps your child to be more willing to listen to instructions, go to bed, and participate in other daily activities that they might currently be resisting. As a mom of two toddlers, I have seen the vast difference having a set schedule or routine can make. Having a morning routine, a nap time routine, and a bedtime routine can help a child switch from grumpy and contrary; to confident and excited. It literally feels like magic!

The Montessori and Pikler approach promote free movement, independence, and creating opportunities to say “yes” to your child. Having routine cards assists you in providing “yes” situations and allowing your child to develop independence. Each card is created with fun pictures so that your child can easily understand even if they can’t read yet. Set your child up for success by making your routine FUN!

Ideas for using the Routine Cards:

Magnetic Board or Fridge

Use magnets to set up a routine with your child on a whiteboard or chalkboard or fridge. Have two sections: ‘To Do’ and ‘Done’. Whenever your child completes an activity, they can then take the corresponding card and place it in the ‘done’ section!

Clothespins

Use an empty picture frame to string and staple a little “clothesline”. Have multiple lines set up. Using clothespins, hang up the cards in the order of your child’s routine. Once your child completes an action, they can then take the corresponding card and place it on the bottom clothesline!

Pouches

Using a large poster-board, tape on rectangles of paper that would be large enough to slide a routine card inside. at the bottom of the poster-board, glue on an envelope with the word “DONE” written on the front. Place your routine cards in the pouches in the order of your child’s routine. Whenever your child completes an activity, they can then take the corresponding card and place it in the ‘done’ envelope!
