Free Printable Morning & Bedtime Routine Charts {That You Can Edit!}


{*Edited to add 6/18/2013: Apparently some people were having trouble downloading the charts. I have added new download links for readers who have an older version of Microsoft Word. Hopefully, everyone is now able to download them without any problems. If anyone has a problem, please leave me a comment. I can't fix what I don't know! Thanks!*}

Routines can be very helpful in making a household run more smoothly. I designed these charts to help make routines run more smoothly. These provide a visual way for kids to see what they need to do during each routine time without you having to tell or remind them of each step. There are lots of charts on the internet to help with routines that are very good. I created my own because no two households are alike. Some things that we incorporate into our routines are not necessarily in someone else's (and vice versa). For example, my daughter needs to brush her hair in the morning, but my son doesn't. Most charts did not have anything about vitamins on it, and this is part of our routine.

Vitamins not part of your routine? No problem! Because no two households are alike, these charts are fully editable. Want to change "Comb hair" into "Pick up toys?" No problem. Just switch out the comb for a clipart of toys and edit the wording. Viola! Personalized routine charts. I hope you find these useful in making your mornings and bedtimes go more smoothly!

Each chart is available in 5 colors: pink, blue, purple, green, and a generic gray. The colors are editable also.
To edit the charts, you will have to download them to your own computer, and then edit in Microsoft Word or comparable program.

If you have any trouble downloading, editing, or just have general comments, please let me know in the comments below. Otherwise, enjoy!

{Note: These charts are for personal use only. You may link to this post, but please do not link to the charts directly or upload them to your own site/blog. Thanks!}

secret valentine messages
(Cut out hearts and then write on them with a white crayon. Hide them in strategic morning places. The kids have to paint over them to reveal the secret messages. Cute idea!)
