DIY Kid's Command Center

Now that summer break is here, I wanted to create a command station for my girls so that they can easily keep track of their daily chores and schedule. I've found that when they can see what to do and what's next, they're no only more self-sufficient, but a lot less likely to revert to screens.


I wanted this station to be age-appropriate and user friendly so that they could keep track of it all on their own. So far, they're absolutely loving it and actually get excited to start their day! (We're still working on the evening chores lol).


I bough a cork board roll at Hobby Lobby, but honestly it's so thin and flimsy I wouldn't recommend it. You could use regular cork boards or just stick them on the wall. Obviousy the arch and accent wall is just me being extra and completely unnecessary. haha


I've included the free links to the chore charts and schedules below. These are completely editable through Canva so play around with it and feel free to make it work for your family!




Supplies


  • Laminator

  • Laminating Pouches

  • Scissors

  • Printer

  • Cork Board - I used a roll from Hoby Lobby, but I don't recommend it. I linked some squares that seem to be more sturdy. You could use command strips to hang it without damaging the wall

  • Paint (optional)

The chore chart idea is genius—my kids are the same way with screens, and seeing their schedule visually has been a total game changer for our mornings. I’ve been using a similar setup with https://muse-video.pro

The chore chart idea is genius—my kids are the same way about needing to *see* what’s next to avoid the screen spiral. I’ve been using a similar magnetic setup for our morning routine, and it’s been a total game-changer. Check out https://hy-3d.net

The "less likely to revert to screens" line is exactly what I needed to hear—my two are the same way. I've been using a similar setup but adding a dry-erase "done" column has been a game-changer, check out https://makerworld.pro

Love that this gives them ownership over their own day—the screen-reduction side effect is a huge win. I’ve been using a similar setup with https://rodinai.net

Love that you made it age-appropriate so they can actually run it solo—the screen-revert struggle is real over summer. I've been using a similar magnetic chart for my two, and it's been a game changer for chore wars. Check out https://hyper3d.site
