About this template

Toddlers do better when they can see what comes next. Routine cards make the day visible: a picture for getting dressed, one for breakfast, one for the park, one for bath time. Line them up and your child has a schedule they can read long before they can read words.

You get 30 hand-drawn cards at 3 × 3 inches, six header cards and a "Today's routine" board with six numbered slots. Every label is editable, so you can change the words to match the ones your family uses and build the routines you need: mornings, bedtime, a daycare day, a weekend. Print them, laminate them if you like, and move them around as the day changes.

What's included

  • 30 picture routine cards at 3 × 3 in, plus 6 header cards and a "Today's routine" strip board (printable PDF, 7 pages)
  • The same sheets with all 36 labels as fillable fields, plus a sheet of 6 blank cards (editable PDF, 8 pages)
  • Editing instructions: typing, saving, sending digitally, cutting and laminating (2 pages)
  • Read-me-first page with printing tips and your personal-use licence
  • 4 PDFs, 18 US Letter pages in one zip. Instant digital download, no physical item ships

Questions

What age are the cards for?

They are designed for toddlers and preschoolers, roughly 18 months to 5 years, and are also used with older children who benefit from visual supports.

Can I change the words on the cards?

Yes, the words. All 30 card labels, the 6 header words and the 6 blank cards are fillable fields in the editable PDF, and the font handles accented characters, so you can retype the set in another language. The pictures, the sheet headings and the numbers on the routine board are fixed artwork.

What do I need to edit them?

Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is free, or Preview on a Mac. Browser PDF viewers often discard typed text when you save. A print-only version is included too, if the labels suit you as they are.

Should I laminate them?

It is optional, but laminated cards survive sticky hands and last much longer. Add hook-and-loop dots to stick them on a board.

Are these a therapy tool?

They are a general parenting and classroom resource. If your child has additional needs, your therapist or teacher can advise on how to use visual schedules for them.
