Star Charts

Star charts are so much more satifiying with a 4 year old. My 2 year old just doesn’t get it… we do mini star charts

Pen + Scrap Paper + a fairy stamp = Star Chart

Every followed instruction gets a stamp, 5 stamps get a reward…either dessert or a DVD. And still she doesn’t usually get 5 stamps!


But my 4 year old, he gets it now. So he has jobs like, setting the table, tidying ALL the toys out of the lounge, taking out the recycling. And he is always asking "what good thing can I do now mummy?" His first reward was getting to choose what we have for dinner… so we spent ages looking through recipe books to find the perfect meal, and eventually he chose Mac'n Cheese!...with bits of bacon on the top!! …we changed it over time to bacon, onion and tomato in the sauce and crumbled up nacho chips on top… it was really good!! And a chocolate cake for dessert, which he decorated with sprinkles …needless to say, it got quite sweet!!
