Chore Chart on a Ring

We love this portable chore chart on a ring!

Laminate the pages so each child can check off the items on their list with a dry erase marker — and easily wipe it off when all the chores are completed. Easy to tuck into purses, bags or even left hanging on a hook or the fridge.
