MORNING ROUTINE CHECKLIST
My oldest boy is heading to 1st grade this Fall! Plus, my second born is headed to a 4-day a week preschool. Both need to be at school around 9 am, which means our mornings are going to be a bit busier than we are used to! I knew my boys needed to learn to be a little more self-sufficient in the morning. I knew if they had a checklist of sorts, that they could reference it, instead of asking me! Last year, I can’t tell you how many mornings I would catch Nathan doing something he shouldn’t — playing, watching TV, etc. I would have to say, “Nathan, what do you think you should be doing right now instead of ________?” He would grin and name the items. Hence the birth of this Morning Routine Printable!
By having a printable for him to reference, I believe he will be able to get everything done without me having to remind him or repeat myself 15 times a morning! Especially if I make a strong effort to teach him to reference it first in the mornings!

I have used these printables before and I was very thankful for them. I am trying to download them for a friend but can not download. Can you please help me?
Thank you!

Sherry – thanks so much for leaving a comment! I’m not sure why the download links weren’t working! I’ve got them all fixed though and they should be good for you!

I absolutely love these printables! They’ll be a fantastic resource for some of our patients where I work; I’m a rehab technician for an Occupational Therapy Department in pediatrics.
Unfortunately, I’m experiencing difficulty in getting the documents to download. It almost seems like there is no link, nor attachment, hooked up to any of the four options above. Is it just me? Sorry for the inconvenience!
Jennifer Janet
I am experiencing the same thing.

What font did you use with this? I’d like to add something but have it still look consistent with the other fonts.
