Why I Created the Reward Path Board

Some kids thrive with clear expectations—but struggle when things shift. I created the Reward Path Board to support consistency and adaptability. It’s a visual way to show progress toward rewards, while gently teaching that the journey might not always follow the same pattern.

At school, my son Beckham used this board to earn a break and small treat after completing tasks—but the stars would move to keep it unpredictable. That flexibility helped him grow.

At home, my son Crew used it for potty training. He got a small prize when he landed on a star—and when he finished the full path, he earned a Build-A-Bear. Big goals, little steps, real growth.

This board isn't just about getting a prize—it’s about building motivation, tracking progress visually, and teaching flexibility along the way.

  • From “I don’t want to”

  • to “Look how far I’ve come!”

Every step matters—and this board helps kids see that.

How It Works

2. add numbers and stars along the back side of the path

Your child gets to pick their monster to track progress across the front of the board.

You’ll place the numbers and stars on the back using our double-sided Progress Marker Clings—so the monster can move from start to finish without ever peeling them off. It's a fun, visual way to stay motivated while building flexibility and independence.

3. celebrate small wins

Stars become opportunities for small rewards, breaks, or check-ins along the way to a bigger goal.

How do the clings work on this board?

The Progress Marker Clings (stars and numbers) go on the back of the board, and your child’s monster goes on the front. This way, the monster can move along the path without peeling off the clings underneath. It keeps the layout intact and lets your child track their progress in a fun, hands-on way!

What’s included?

The board comes with four magnetic hardware pieces with anti-skid rings. The Progress Marker | Reward Path Clings are sold separately so you can customize based on your child’s needs.

Can I move the stars?

Yes! That’s the point. Moving the stars teaches flexibility—especially helpful for neurodivergent kids who struggle with sudden change.

Does this work for older kids?

Yes, it works for all ages. Just adjust your reward type and frequency. It’s great for habit-building, routines, and even academic or behavior goals.

Is this just for home?

Nope—it’s also amazing in classrooms, therapy settings, and homeschools!
