A printable routine chart: how-to guide

By the Tika team · July 14, 2026

Digital is handy, but a paper chart on display keeps real power: always visible, never switched off, it supports your child’s independence. Many families combine both.

Why paper helps too

A permanent chart at child height becomes a constant visual cue. Ticking with a marker gives concrete satisfaction and builds independence, screen-free.

How to build it

Keep it simple and readable. A clear chart beats a beautiful, cluttered one.

• List tasks by time of day (morning, evening…)
• One row per task, one column per day
• Simple pictograms
• Post it at child height

Combine it with Tika
