5 Stars magnetic chore chart
Excellent! One of the best products from melissa and doug that i’ve seen/purchased. one of the more reasonably priced ones as well, kids love it.

4 Stars Great Way to Visualize Efforts
We have two 9 month old babies and it is not as easy as it once was to give immediate feedback and reinforcement to my preschooler for a job well done. To top that off, it is more important than ever that jobs actually get done more independently (get dressed etc). This chart is a great way for my almost-4-year-old to receive immediate feedback when he completes a task. I like that you are able to change what responsibilities are important but I would like it if there were more spaces to put the current responsibilities.

4 Stars Good one!
Its really helping me with my daughter’s progress….She even reminds me every night to complete the chart!!, the good thing is that you get a weekly progress not just a single one, so if she does ok by the end of the week she gets a reward…

5 Stars So Far, So Great
I bought this for my 4 year old. So far it’s been great. She enjoys putting the smiles on the chart, getting praise and positive reinforcement for doing all sorts of jobs and good deeds. It’s helped us to cut down on arguments and aggravation. We’ve only finished the chart one time so far, but we’re all really happy with it and look forward to trying out new jobs and responsibilities… for real.

5 Stars Chore chart
The Melissa and Doug Magnetic chore chart is great. I love that its very interchangable, my children pick out the chores they want to be responsible for each week so they don’t get bored of doing the same thing. We use the bottom section to write what they’re weekly reward will be with a dry erase marker. It is very sturdy and all in all a great product.

5 Stars Webkinz Lion
Both the plush and the website are awesome…..it’s like getting two toys for the price of one.

5 Stars Webkniz Lion
I think Webkinz is a wonderful tool to teach kids the meaning of a dollar and responsibility at a young age. And has a good educational value when it comes to some of the games the kids can play to earn kinz cash.

4 Stars not as cute as other webkinz
The Lion itself looks hammered…the fur is regular plush, but the mane is really stringy looking. It doesn’t matter to my kids as they adore all webkinz, and do their chores very quick so they have time to get online and feed their pets, water their gardens etc. But I think this one is just not as cute as the others.

5 Stars Very Good
My nephew really likes his lion and plays online with it all the time. The product was in good condition and was shipped expediently.

5 Stars Very cute!
I bought this for my nephew who absolutely loved it! He couldn’t wait until after his party to register it on the computer. They are just the cutest things!

4 Stars Chore Chart
This is a wonderful tool for parents to encourage their children to do chores around the house. They can track for themselves what they have been accomplishing.

5 Stars worth the money
My 3 year old daughter likes earning her smiley faces and then at the end of the week if she has enough she gets to pick a special reward. Its great incentive and teaches responsibility as well. I like that we will be able to change the chores as she gets older so she will not outgrow this for a long time.

4 Stars Great Item but heavy!
This item is a great resource to use. Only complaint is the weight of it. Very heavy to hang!

5 Stars MAGNET TITLES!!!
I bought 2 of these for my 3 and 5 year olds after reading these reviews. But I couldn’t find a review that stated the titles of the responsibilities for those of you wanting to know if it will work for you; which for most it should cuz it covers most. Here they are: get ready for bed, get dressed, take bath, cear table, put toys away, keep hands to self, share, brush teeth,stop whining, apologize, say please, thank you, help with indoor/outdor chores, no teasing, show respect, load/empty dishwasher, put clothes in wash, don’t use bad language, set table, take care of pet, do homework, make bed, clean room, take out trash, keep hands to self, plus 2 blank to write your own.

My 5 year old took to it right away as we placed all her responsibilities on the board. She was soooo excited and said I’m going to do that more, etc. She even added some resp. she usually wouldn’t do, cuz she wanted to get more magnets; so at the end of the week we count them, assign a monetary allowance for each magnet earned (maybe 5 cents), and she can get a little toy or treat at end of week. I figured with 7 days a week and 10 resp. she could earn around 3.50 week; that’s big to her right now!!

5 Stars Great intro to chores.
My child loves this. She can see the chores by looking at the pictures and then with a surprise at the end of the week for successfully completing the chores. It is easy to use over and over.

5 Stars Great for my 3 year old
I got this for my almost 3 year old to help her learn to stop whining and to get ready for bed in a timely manner. This chart is working wonders, she still whines a bit, but we no longer have one ounce of trouble from her at bedtime. For every “sticker” she gets she get’s one silver coin out of the change jar. We’ve been doing this for about a month now and she has about $15 for doing everything she’s supposed to do. I’m planning on using whatever money she gets at first to let her buy something special and then from then on she’s putting it in her savings account. I think this is a great way to teach little kids about responsibility and the value of money. Whenever she messes up or doesn’t get all her stickers for the day we take away one coin for every mishap.
