HOW TO USE
• Print the pages and cards on cardstock
• Laminate them if you like, so they wipe clean
• Cut the cards apart on the dotted lines (every card is 1.3 in / 3.3 cm and fits every chart)
• Add hook-and-loop dots to the chart squares and card backs
• Pick 2 or 3 helper jobs a day and move each finished card to Done!
• On My Helper Week, swap a finished card for a Done! token
• Give Super Helper! stars and put them on My Special Time
HOW TO PRINT
• Print at Actual Size or 100%, not "Fit to page"
• White cover cardstock 65 to 80 lb (about 176 to 216 gsm) works best
• Print one side only; most PDF readers turn the landscape pages automatically
• Choose the Ink-Saver PDF to use very little color ink
