I'm always looking for ways to get my kids motivated to do their daily jobs, e.g. making their bed, picking up toys, etc. and about a year ago I found a great answer to that, this cool magnetic chart by Melissa & Doug. Problem #1, I now have 2 kids old enough for jobs, and this chart is decidedly for one child. Problem #2, this chart is huge, and takes up way too much space. So this morning I went searching for a more feasible solution, and this is what I found. Cost? Only the ink to print a small amount of color on a 8.5x11" sheet of paper! And it's perfect for 2 kids, as well as totally customizable! So I printed one off, and we'll see how responsible my kids will become...
As I read your post, I'm busy finishing up the laundry of The Wild One, who left it in suspended animation, with various pieces on the floor, in the washer and in the dryer! Jeesh!!
