This clothes pin responsibility chart is a quick and easy craft that serves a purpose. By hanging on their door knob, kids are easily able to see what is expected of them each morning and get the sense of satisfaction and pride as they move each clothes pin to the “done” section!<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m forever grateful for the moms that came before me for coming up with such simple, clever ideas I can adopt and bring into my own motherhood path. This clothes pin responsibility chart is one such idea. Hailey made hers at Girl Scouts and immediately took to it. It’s been a couple months since she brought it home and she still gets a great sense of accomplishment and pride when she moves all her clothes pin into the done<\/em> section.<\/p>\n

She takes a lot of pride in her morning responsibilities and lately she’s been bringing Kaitlyn into the action. This got me thinking. Kaitlyn will be four next month, and though she does get the unavoidable and unintentional lower expectations benefit of being the baby of the family, I want to ensure she also learns what is expected of her as she gets older. I decided it would be a great time to make a chart for her, too!<\/p>\n

All you really need for this project are foam door hangers<\/a>, generic clothes pins<\/a>, and some fine point Sharpies<\/a>. Of course you could also get stickers or glitter or anything else you wanted to make them pretty, but I like to keep my craft standards low, so I stuck with simple.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I used a Sharpie to outline the foam hanger and divide the section into to do<\/em> and done<\/em>. I wrote her name at the top then wrote her responsibilities on both sides of the clothes pins. Of course there are a million ways to alter this, as you could section it off from left to right instead of top to bottom, so feel free to go wild.<\/p>\n

The girls’ responsibilities differ slightly, for age reasons. Kaitlyn (age 3 1\/2… OK, almost 4<\/em>) sticks to the basics:<\/p>\n
