Thanks so much for this! Perfect timing... we are just working on something new for keeping track of these types of things. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI hope it works well for you :)
DeleteI wanted to let you know that I did use this chart. I'm linking to your blog from my blog today as I am showing people my command central and this is a part. Thanks!
DeleteIn case you want to see it - the post is: http://www.realcoake.blogspot.com/2012/08/kids-command-central.html
Your kid's command center looks great!
DeleteBy far the CUTEST chore charts I've seen!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Racheal!
DeleteThese are lovely chore charts, your printables are always great!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Amanda!
DeleteThese are fantatsic printabel just what I have been looking for for my 3 girls
ReplyDeleteThanks Jill
DeleteSo simple and DARLING! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteFound you through Pinterest! I'm laminating these & using dry erase markers. Much cuter than the spreadsheets I have up now. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHi Jill! I hope they work well for you
DeleteWhat great printables! Thanks for sharing at Homemade By You!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting each week Katie!
DeleteJust pinned these. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Sam! Thanks for the pin.
DeleteIt let's me download these but then asks me to enter the document passwords to use them?
ReplyDeleteSpecifically, it says "Please enter the Document Permissions password to remove the restrictions" The little box that pops up is titled PDF security password
ReplyDeleteHi Emily! I don’t know why it wouldn’t let you type in the fields and print. I do have a password protection on both charts, but that is only for preventing copying. I can email you the file if you would like?
DeleteI love these! I just edited in my kids' chores and now am having trouble printing. It asks me to click "sign" to edit and then "done signing" to save a copy. I can't find "sign" or "done signing".....
ReplyDeleteI’m sorry that it’s not printing. I tweaked the security settings and uploaded a new version, which hopefully will work better for you. Please let me know if it still isn’t letting you print and I’ll try emailing it to you.
DeleteHi,
DeleteThese are perfect! I was able to download and fill, but it says I have to "sign" before I can save....not sure what to do?
Thanks!
Hi Mary,
DeleteI looked up saving fillable PDFs online and this was the number one answer. I hope it helps.
“The free Adobe Acrobat Reader allows you to view and print fillable PDF forms. It does not allow you to save a form to your PC once you have filled them in. You must have Adobe Acrobat Writer software installed on your computer to save completed PDF forms for future reference or to send as an attachment to an e-mail. An option is to download the free Foxit PDF reader from http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/. It will allow you to save your filled out forms. You can also use the previous version of Adobe Reader 8.1.3, but with both Foxit and Adobe Reader version 9, you will have all available options.”
Will give it a try! Thank you!!
DeleteThese are so cute, but it's asking me for a password when I try to edit it in photoshop. Can you help? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah! All of my printables are password protected and cannot be edited in Photoshop or AI. These are fillable and can be filled and printed using Adobe Acrobat.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I found you via http://organizeyourstuffnow.com I'm sharing this chore chart printable on my blog www.dixiedollardeals.blogspot.com Already printed out the chart for my 7 year old so she can keep busy all summer!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly for the shout out!
DeleteI love it! I just started following you! Thanks! Found it on pinterest. I have 4 kids and one on the way, and I needed some help scheduling what to do for the summer so I am using this to include my non chore items for the kids like read Bible,20 min practicing a skill, excercise, journal, etc.. so we can track our progress so we can earn a weekly prize like a trip to Dairy queen. Thanks I have more summer planning ideas on my crafty, healthy, homeschool blog at www.apronsandapples.blogspot.com . Glad to have found you! Kristy
ReplyDeleteHi Kristy! Thanks so much for following! Great summer planning ideas by the way.
DeleteThanks! Perfect for what I needed!
ReplyDeleteI love this chore chart! I found this through pinterest and I really think this is what will work for my family. I've tried to download and add my kids' names and chores but when I print it's blank. Not sure if this is user error or what. I've tried it on both the girls chart and boys chart. Let me know if I'm doing something wrong!
ReplyDeleteHi Sara! Here are a few ideas that I found online, I hope they help.
DeleteIf you can't print a PDF form, there may be a number of reasons. Try some or all of these steps to see if you can fix it:
Use Acrobat 8.0 (or later) to open the file directly after downloading. You can download the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader Free on Adobe's Web site: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Make sure to click outside of the form field before printing. If a form field is active or selected (e.g. contains the blinking bar) the contents of that block will not print.
When the print diologue box appears try selecting "Print document and markups" from the drop down menu located under the section labeled "Comments and Forms". Or print the PDF as an image by choosing "Print as Image" from the "Advanced" window in the Print dialog box.
Occasionally if you print a range of pages instead of 'all pages' it prints filled in information correctly.
Most printing problems can be resolved by obtaining and installing the most recent print driver available for your particular make and model printer. Most printer manufacturers provide free printer driver updates from their web sites.
As a last resort, download the PDF file again and fill it out again.
Thank you so much, Bekah! Apparently I hadn't downloaded the Adobe update in a while. Doing that fixed the problem. I'm so happy!
DeleteAwesome! I'm so glad that it's printing now :)
DeleteHi! When I print this the words print like they are double, but it's only the words. Everything else prints fine....any suggestions?? I know it's not my printer, I tested it with a word document & it printed fine. I also updated my adobe to make sure I had the latest? Has anyone else had this problem?
ReplyDeleteHi! Sorry that your having issues printing the chart. As far as I know no one else has had this issue. I scoured the net for a solution, but the only thing I found is the font may possibly be triggering the text in the text box to print twice. Printing the file as an image bypasses that by sending the printer a simple image of the document instead.
Delete1. Ensure that your printer is turned on and connected.
2. Choose File > Print, and then click Advanced.
Mac OS: If you don't see the Advanced button, click the Down Arrow (to the right of the Printer pop-up menu).
3. Select Print As Image.
4. Click OK to close the Advanced Print Setup dialog box, and then click OK to print.
Thanks for the response...I tried what you suggested, but it still won't work. Really weird:) Could you e.mail it to me, do you think that would make a difference? joseegarch AT hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteSorry that didn’t help. I just sent the charts to you in an email and I hope they print perfectly for you :)
DeleteThanks so much! These charts are adorable! I found them on pinterest. I'm going to use them for my ADHD niece to help her visualize what she has to do each day.
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
Hi Sara! I hope the chart helps your niece.
Deletethank you so much for the great charts! i'm hoping this helps my daughter :)
ReplyDeleteI am computer challenged so THANX for simplifying my life!!! I appreciate your generosity to share your talents!! :) This will be great for the summer.
ReplyDeleteHi! I love these chore charts and can't wait to get started using them!
ReplyDeleteWhen I enter my child's name in the upper left hand corner, it won't put the name in the center of the box, and cuts off the top of the first letter. It also won't let me use a pretty font...just the generic one. Any suggestions on what I need to do to be able to adjust the location of the name to the center of the box and use a pretty font?
Thanks!
Nikki
Hi Nikki! I don’t understand why it’s not centering; I’ve only had that problem if the name is too long. As for the fonts I used Honey Script (http://bit.ly/b2YsO), but I don’t think fonts can be changed sorry. I hope this helps :)
DeleteOh I LOVE the font you use, and what is coming up is definitely not it. :( I tried inserting a screen shot of what happens when I enter the name, but it's not working. The names are 7 letters long. Not sure if that is too long or not. I will keep playing around with it.
DeleteAhhh, I just figured it out. The form does not like Safari. I opened it in Google Chrome and it worked!!! Thanks for trying to help me figure it out, and thank you for the beautiful chart!! :)
DeleteNikki
Finally, I was able to download and open a free printable from your site! I downloaded Foxit software and it worked!(I saw your reply suggesting Foxit.) I have been a follower for quite a while and have never been able to open anything. :( - Yeah, I can finally use your adorable prints!!! - Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Lana! I'm happy that Foxit worked and they are downloading for you now :)
DeleteThank you!! I have tried to use way to many forms and these are the best and easiest!! It took me 5 minutes to set the chores for my kids! THANK YOU1111
ReplyDeletelove these! thank you! you are so talented!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Single mom who hasn't had work hours in 2 weeks and money is TIGHT... I could afford the few pennies to print this and had the page protectors and dry-erase! I'm tired of doing it ALL!
ReplyDeleteI was raised by a single mother, so I understand how difficult it can be. Hopefully this will motivate your child to help out more.
Deletethank you for sharing your great ideas and printables. It makes the world so much cuter for those of us who don't know how to create printables!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing..
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for making these available. I am using them to keep a list of 'earning options' for my kids to do in addition to normal chores.
ReplyDeleteI love these! I searched the web for chore charts and these are by far the cutest! Thanks for sharing them with us. PS-everything edited and printed perfectly for me.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Lori, glad to hear it!
DeleteBeen using these for about 3 months. So nice to not tell my kids what to do. If they get all chores done for the week they get $5. If they don't they loose $5 and also loose an activity they enjoy. Like staying up 1/2 hour later or extra 20 min on playstation. Thanks so much I love this and it's free and works perfect for us. I really appreciate that. I searched and searched and when I came across yours. It was perfect. Thanks for taking the extra time to help out so many families.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the free printables! I found the financial papers very valuable as well as these chore charts for my kids. I had made my own chart for them, but I love the style you did yours in. They are great and i love that they are editable. I am a teacher and a mom and would love to know what program you use to make your pdf's editable. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteJessica
Hi Jessica, I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro to add the text fields.
DeletePrinting out the boys chore chart right now!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU~ THANK YOU~ THANK YOU
I love it & have never found a better one- perfectly simple= perfect
Awesome Patsy! I hope they work well for you.
DeleteUsing this for my soon to be 2 year old. I typed in stuff he already does (feed the pets? Pick up his toys? Put his clothes in the hamper?) and stuff we want to keep track of (Did he eat every meal? Take a bath that day?). Later, I can replace tasks with more advanced tasks.
ReplyDeleteI printed it out and put it in a picture frame I got from the Dollar Store. It's posted by his bedroom door with a dry erase marker. That way it's in sight and easier to remember, but out of his reach. :)
I shared your link on my Facebook page for my friends to use!
THANK YOU!
I want to edit it and it wont let me can you email me it in word? dkhart2004@yahoo.com Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Kristy,
DeleteI just emailed you. I can send you a PDF, but it will still be password protected so the only editing allowed is typing in the text fields. Thank you for your understanding.
