Each chart has its advantages!
07 February, 2023
You're discovering Les Belles Combines and aren't sure which of our charts would best suit your family's reality, based on your children's ages or developmental levels? Here's a little guide to help you learn about the benefits and how to use each of our charts, so you can choose with confidence.
The chore chart
Devoted mainly to household chores, this chart lets you easily assign tasks to every member of the family, and thanks to the individual charts, you can see at a glance who has actually contributed to the weekly upkeep.
How to use it
Using our Les Magnétos chore magnets in the family format or our little missions magnets, place all the chores to be done each week in the “To Do” section of the chart and let the kids choose one chore to complete each day. When the chore is done, ask them to move the matching magnet to their individual chart. Move the magnets for the chores that should be done first to the “Priority” section to show the kids what needs to be done first.
Benefits
- Works very well for little ones and big ones alike, and even for adults
- Helps develop independence and proactivity
- Lets you see everyone's contribution at a glance
- Saves you from assigning chores individually every week
- Brings all the chores to be done together in one place

My little routine/chore chart
Adaptable and versatile, the little chart is used individually and lets your child follow their routine more easily or know exactly which tasks they need to do, and in what order.
How to use it
To help your child follow their morning or evening routine, use our routine magnets and place them in the “To Do” section of the chart. Then ask your child to move the magnet for each completed routine step to the “Done” section. Having to move the magnet each time will make sure they don't forget any step!
To instead guide your child through their tasks and activities of the day, use our steps-of-the-day magnets in addition to the routine or little missions magnets (you can also use the task magnets from the family set), and once again ask your child to move the matching magnet to the “Done” section each time a task or activity is finished.
Benefits
- Suited to little ones, from age three
- Makes it easier for children to follow a routine
- Helps develop independence
- Gives children more guidance on what they need to do

The large task chart
Adaptable and versatile, the large task chart makes it easier for every family member to organize their day or more complex tasks. It's also perfect for planning and carrying out bigger family projects, whether it's the big spring cleaning, organizing a birthday party or planning a trip.
How to use it
Using our family-size task magnets or our sticky notes, list all the tasks involved in the project in the “To Do” section of the chart. When a family member takes on a task, ask them to move the matching magnet or sticky note to the “In Progress” section of the chart. When the task is complete, ask them to move the magnet or sticky note to the “Done” section. You'll get a quick view of what's been accomplished and what's left to do.
Benefits
- Versatile, it can be used for projects of many different kinds
- Suited to family, collaborative use
- Better suited to older children
- Gives you an overview of a project's progress
