This is how I get my kids to work around the house! Magnetic Chore Charts are the best! We have been using these chore charts for over a year now and my kids still enjoy using their magnets to show me what they have done!
To make these, all I did was:
1. Buy a piece of 8×11 sheet metal @ Home Depot (approx. $2) and cut it down to fit and 8×10 frame.
2. Cut vinyl stickers to label 8 chores my kids do daily. (You could use a sharpie marker and write the chores if you don’t have access to a vinyl machine.)
3. Get some magnets for each child that fit in the squares to show which chores they have completed.
And that is it!

Brilliant! I will definitely be making this for my kiddos.
IDK if those are your kids charts or not but I found it funny that they are named Leah and Ethan. Those are my oldest 2 childrens names. How neat is that. I love the chore chart and will be making these this week!
Thanks Sarah
I love magnets! This gives me some great ideas.
Greetings, I’d planned on doing something very similar and also live in AZ. I went to Lowe’s today for sheet metal but it was too big AND was $19!!! outrageous. You mentioned you went to home depot for yours, did you cut the sheet yourself? If so how did you do it? I am using a large picture frame for mine. thank you
Hi Tia-
If you buy the big sheets of sheet metal, they do run about that much. Check the roofing section in home depot- they sell sheets of metal already cut down for a couple dollars. They have 5×7 and 8×11, so you’ll have to cut it just a bit more to fit an 8×10, but I think the 5×7 sheets are less than a dollar and the others are 2-3 dollars. Hope that helps!
