My To Do List

What is it

Family life can get hectic, which is why My To Do List is the perfect daily activity to help children become organised, learn good habits, and become more independent and responsible. Each magnetic piece is double sided: a task on one side, and ‘Done´ with a smiley face on the other. You can choose from the 12 activities: cleaning the table, feeding the pet, or even doing something nice for somebody! There are also 4 blank pieces so you can write your own tasks.

What our experts think

A great magnetic board that aims to teach children about responsibility and makes doing chores easier. There was an initial excitement about the set and the children were eager to get started. We found that it helped our testers to become more aware and more focussed on what they had to do throughout the day. Completing practical and household tasks teaches children about following instructions and also builds independence and confidence.

The set contained a good choice of tasks and our testers liked the fact that they could write their own tasks using the blank spaces provided. The addition of the smiley face as recognition is good and some of our parents extended this to a reward. Positive reinforcement teaches good habits and empowers children in their own place of responsibility in the household. The design of the board is eye-catching, however it is not solid and the tasks can slip off when being moved.
