Here, M gets to build his LEGO collection. I don’t have to deal with figuring out prizes – and prizes can get pricey! I’m not a fan at all of novelty junk – they break all over and don’t get played with much.

This reward chart for kids system has been flawless for us.

We usually give bonus pieces as well for completing a chart – either the pieces that didn’t fit on the chart, larger pieces from a huge lot I bought off eBay, or something along those lines.

When he has 25 “stickers” the chart is complete! He gets to keep all those pieces.

Each square gets one “sticker” – he doesn’t need to fill the squares.

He earns a LEGO “sticker” on the chart for completing a task (for example, for dressing himself, we give him one for doing it himself, one for no reminders along the way, and one for putting his things in the laundry after he gets dressed.).

M has completed it ten or so times and we’ve already been through a box of LEGO. We’ve tried this LEGO chart system for a couple of months alerady and it’s been a huge hit. I had to figure out a new reward each time – and gosh, that can be hard!.It lacked immediate gratification (the stickers just weren’t doing it for him).Whenever we finished a chart, it took me a week to get around to figuring out a new one.I had this brilliant idea to try something much simpler that gives it much more function.įor a while, we have been using a reward chart for kids to help M with dressing in the morning (as well as other tasks). We also found that it works better for projects like wearables where you’re using the brick tape and the LEGO bricks for an aesthetic factor, rather than a functional one. While we found that it needed extra glue reinforcement on fabric, on cardboard it just sticks right on. Since we first tried brick tape a few months ago when we made M this LEGO Kippah, we have been hooked on the possibilities. Disclosure: this post contains commissioned links. Of all my LEGO projects that I made for M this past summer, this DIY reward chart for kids was the absolute biggest hit (and yep, I did save best for last!) You can check out our LEGO t-shirt, LEGO cap, and LEGO backpack, but this cool brick tape project adds a whole new dimension to how we used it.
