Kids daily routine chart maker

How to make a printable kids daily routine chart

• Look at the chart above. It starts with a morning routine. Pick the after school or bedtime template if you want one of those.
• Change what does not fit your child: edit a time or a name, delete a step, or add your own with a picture.
• Press the print button for the day. You get one big checklist, with a large picture, a time and a name on every row.
• In the print window, choose Save as PDF if you want a PDF instead of paper.

Morning, after school and bedtime routines

Morning routine: wake up, brush teeth, get dressed, eat breakfast, pack the school bag, shoes and coat.

After school routine: snack, homework, play outside, tidy up toys, dinner.

Bedtime routine: bath, put on pajamas, brush teeth, story time, lights out.

These are starting points. Every time, name and picture can be changed, and each template fills all seven days so you can print any day.

Pictures, times and tick boxes

Each step can have one emoji as its picture, such as a toothbrush or a school bag. Emoji are free and need no image files. The printed chart shows the picture, the time and the name, with an empty box your child can tick with a pen or a sticker. The boxes always print empty, so you can print a new copy whenever you need one.

Tips for using a routine chart with a child

• Let your child pick the pictures or the order of the steps. They are more likely to follow a chart they helped make.
• Keep it short. A few steps for each part of the day are easier to follow than a long list.
• Put the chart where your child will see it, such as the fridge or the bedroom door.
• Change it as your child grows. Edit the times and steps, then print a new one.

The templates are examples, not parenting or medical advice. Make a routine that suits your family.

Keep the chart for next time

Save your routine as a file on your device and open it again whenever you want to change or reprint the chart. We never receive your routine, so keep the file somewhere safe. Read more on the home page or in the Privacy Policy.
