Chores & Kids Checklist printables

About these chores & Kids Checklist sheets

These three sheets cover chore routines from the toddler years through early teens, each matched to what a child can realistically manage at a given age. "Preschooler Daily Chores" keeps tasks simple and repetitive across morning, afternoon, and bedtime. "Weekly Chores: Ages 5–8" expands the scope room by room across the full week. "Teen Chore Skill Builder" works differently again, tracking how well a job is learned rather than simply whether it was done.

Choosing between them

Start with "Preschooler Daily Chores" if your child is aged 2–4 and you want a short, predictable routine they can follow with your guidance each day. Move to "Weekly Chores: Ages 5–8" once a child is reading independently and can take more ownership across different rooms without daily hand-holding. Choose "Teen Chore Skill Builder" when the goal is not just task completion but building genuine competence — useful when a child consistently does a job poorly, rushes it, or still relies on reminders after months of practice.

What each sheet contains

“Preschooler Daily Chores” is the single column layout — three headed sections of seven pre-filled checkbox items each down one column, optional blank extra lines per section, and a notes box at the foot. Its section 1 items run to seven entries, starting with “Put pillow back on bed after getting up”, “Pull duvet or blanket up to cover the bed” and “Put pyjamas in the laundry basket”.

“Weekly Chores: Ages 5–8” is the two columns layout — four headed sections of eight pre-filled checkbox items each, two sections per column, with a notes box across the foot. Its section 1 items run to eight entries, starting with “Make the bed (pull up covers)”, “Put dirty clothes in the laundry basket” and “Tidy toys off the floor”.

“Teen Chore Skill Builder” is the phased timeline layout — four time-phased sections (e.g. '8 weeks before', 'Day of') of six pre-filled items each, with an optional done-date column on the right. Its phase 1 items run to six entries, starting with “Watch an adult load and start the washing machine correctly”, “Read the product label before using any cleaning spray” and “Learn to sort laundry: colours, whites, and delicates”.

Printing

Each of the three chores & Kids Checklist sheets downloads as a PDF in US Letter or A4 from its own page, laid out in black and white so it prints on any home or office printer. Nothing on the page is carried by colour, the fields are sized for handwriting, and the same layout can be refilled with your own labels in the generator.
