I can put a chore list together without wasting pen and paper now. Or the kids can come up with their own new wacky chores by putting different combinations together.
Multiple chore lists without writing the same thing over and over!

These chore magnets are saving me time and paper! All three kids (5,7, and 10) have lists on the side of the fridge, and each day after school they check to see what is left to do. I aim for 4-5 items each day. They (or I) can mark tasks that are not complete, close, or finished. I like that because I can honor progress made on tasks that are large, and they can signal to me that they moving towards completion.
The magnet selections include most tasks I used to write out often, including "put away stuff," "homework," "load dishwasher, etc. I've had to explain to my most literal kid that "fold laundry" means to put it completely away.
I bought myself the adult version of the to do list magnets, and I find my kids borrowing tasks to add to their lists. My husband also rearranged the magnets to say "order dad to sleep in."
Our family has had fun adjusting to this method for checklists, and I recommend it highly!

The magnets are neat, they don't take up a lot of space. However, if you have more than one child, buy two packets. These would be great if they came with a few "create your own chore" pieces. It only has one "brush teeth", so you have to move it twice, which is fine if you have the time, but makes my 4 year old wonder why her "chore" isn't actually done. They are a great value and don't take a lot of space. But I do recommend buying a whiteboard to put the magnets on.
Great fun

It was really fun to get all the little magnets. I set up a chore chart on the refrigerator that can easily be changed based on needs. I like it because all the other people in my house are teenagers and these were not just directed at young children. Thanks!

The simplicity and element of humor behind the toy's concept is its charm and value - without it, it might not draw interest or participation, interaction from all ages and between family and friends. The toy fosters a never-ending game of ping-pong - beit with an opponent or against one side of the table metaphorically - by the constant demonstration of creativity, curiosity, interaction, expression and intrigue with the use of the written word in a completely unconventional way.
