How to Use this Printable Preschool Schedule ![]() Which is why I wish I’d been able to create this free printable preschool schedule pack when Sweet B was in preschool. I’m not trying to compete with that because that’s their dedicated focus and for me, it’s just filling a need at home. I hope, one day, to make my printable schedules and other printable resources for autistic kids more compatible with PECS products. I had created it as a free alternative to PECS, which is the primary system that my autistic daughter uses for communication at school and occasionally at home. When I created the My Daily Schedule printable pack, I had no idea as to how popular it would become. I hope that this post is helpful and inspires you to create your own DIY visual daily planner for your kids.If you are preparing your toddler for preschool or are wanting to structure out your classroom, be sure to grab this free printable preschool schedule. For their chore charts, we use this chore chart printable from The Incremental Mama. I even used a little dry erase marker to add in some times so he would have an idea of when different tasks started, that way he’s not asking “is it time for lunch?” 100 times a day. Here’s how our schedules looked, with my 4 year old’s schedule being the first one you see. While ours are hanging on the refrigerator, a clipboard is also a great idea, especially one with storage to store the extra task cards that aren’t being used that day. I recommend using adhesive dots, or even “velcro” dots to attach your tasks. Once you have your schedule all laminated, you are ready to add your cards to your schedule and make your routine. It took me a while to cut out the cards but I just think that the durability you get from laminating it is so worth it. To create your laminated schedule, you’ll need a printer with ink, printer paper, and a laminator and laminating pouches. Plus, there are also blank cards to create your own options. I feel like everything is included here- from basic self-care tasks for kids to sports practices, pet care, and more. ![]() Then, I went through these activity cards carefully making sure there were plenty of options and duplicates of the ones needed, like brushing teeth, snack time, etc… The download comes with two schedule options- a single page that has morning, afternoon, and night, or separate schedule pages for morning/afternoon/night. This is perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and even my school age son loves it. I used glue dots to put ours together, but I’d highly recommend velcro, so that each day you can adjust the schedule as needed. To make this daily planner for your kids, just sign up for my email list to download the free printable, then you can print out the schedule pages, and the cards, laminate, and have your own daily schedule that will withstand some rough kiddos. How to make a visual daily planner for kids. Also, if you are looking for a more traditional planner for older kids, be sure to check out my review on the Erin Condren Kids planner. It has pictures to accompany the tasks, so this works even for kids who aren’t reading age, yet. This visual daily planner for kids is such a great idea, and you can put it on the side of the refrigerator, or on a clipboard, so that your child can reference it whenever they need. I did this before, to an extent, but now that my youngest is almost 5, it is working so well to have them a schedule to look at. One thing that has saved my sanity more so than ever during this COVID “quarantine” with my kids being at home has been getting them into a routine and on a schedule.
