ok here it is... I have an 8yr old girl and a 5 half year old boy.... both are really difficult to get motivated to do things in the morning and to get things done in the evening.
No longer... a solultion has been bought forth!!!!
The lovely Bribe chart.... oh thats right the propper word for it is "Incentive Chart" :) - they have them in class at school so thought it best to have them also at home and yes my kids also get prizes at the end of the school week if enough ticks have been accumulated! So wish I was back at school!
I used the Fiskars interchangable boarder punch and the cartridges... daisy chain and banners away
also pictured above is the Fiskars Sure Cut trimmer, Fiskars Circle med leaver punch, and the Fiskars no8 scissors.
I have covered them with clear book covering stuff we call here Duraseal - so that I can use a white board pen on it. These are weekly charts. At the end of every week with all blank spots ticked they get a prize.....
so my bribe.... no "incentive charts" are in action... so far two days have past while I've done this post and has worked so far and I have near perfect children! Long may it last.... LOL
Happy crafting!
