Even the most reluctant household helpers will be clamoring to clean with The Chore Board . Parents just pick a reward for each child, and then every well-done job moves the helper one step closer to the desired prize. A little motivation goes a long way! Jobs can involve cleaning, organizing, helping with younger siblings, or anything the family sees fit. The magnetic board mounts easily on the refrigerator or can hang on the wall. The set also includes eight playing pieces and a dry-erase marker so parents can make and update the list of jobs that need to be done.
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
