Why a ballet chart helps
Children look at a chart that feels like theirs. With their name at the top and ballet pictures they love, the chart becomes something they want to fill, not a list of jobs from a grown-up.
Keep it where the day happens, like the fridge or their bedroom door, and tick the boxes together at the same time every day. At the end of the week, count the ticks and give the reward you picked together.
Use it as a reward or sticker chart too
Swap the chores for goals, such as brushing teeth, getting dressed or reading a book, and it works as a reward chart. The boxes are big enough for small stickers, so it doubles as a sticker chart.
A fresh sheet every week
Order the chart as a notepad: 50 tear-off sheets with the same ballet design, your child's name and their chores, 11 × 8.5 inches. One sheet a week, no printing.
