Free Printables to Make Routines More Rewarding (Literally)

Free Printables to Make Routines More Rewarding (Literally)

We all dream of kids who hop out of bed, brush their teeth, and get dressed without being asked 17 times. Reality? That’s not always how it goes—especially in summer when routines are looser and motivation tends to disappear.

That’s where visual rewards can be a game changer.

At Fern Family Co, we’re all about helping families feel more supported—and that includes making everyday routines feel a little more rewarding (literally).

What You’ll Get (for Free!)

We created two printable options to help you out:

1. Editable Kids Reward Chart – Canva Template

This fully editable chart lets you type in your own tasks and choose your own rewards. Whether you're working on potty training, screen time routines, or morning prep, this is an easy way to keep kids motivated.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if your kids did what you asked the first time—without any extra incentives?
While it doesn’t happen often in our house 😅, we’ve seen big shifts when our kids can see what they’re working toward.

2. Color-Your-Path Printable Tracker

A more playful option that lets kids color in a star each time they complete a task or show positive behavior. When they reach the end of the path, they earn a reward!

This one is perfect for younger kids who aren’t reading yet or who just need something more fun and low-pressure. You can print a new one each week or keep it up as a long-term goal chart.


Want to Level Up? Try the Reusable Version

If you want something you don’t have to print 100 times, our Reward Path Board might be the upgrade you’re looking for. It’s a magnetic acrylic board that comes with movable stars (so you can shift rewards based on how the day’s going). You can use it for:

  • Screen time goals

  • Chores

  • Potty training

  • School behavior

  • Sibling kindness points

We've used it everything from potty training to school-day breaks, and it's held up beautifully.


How to Get the Freebies

Both printables are free when you subscribe to our email list. Just enter your email here and we’ll send them straight to your inbox. No spam—just helpful tools we actually use in our own home.
