Kids Visual Routine Cards

Calmer mornings and easier bedtimes, one picture at a time. This printable set gives you 90 visual routine cards drawn in simple, elegant line art that little ones can follow before they can read, plus a first/then board, routine boards and a reward chart.

Your child looks at the next card instead of waiting to be told again. You get to do the cheering.
