Sticker Reward Chart

Hi B.~
I designed a chart on my computer so I could add little boy pictures and bright colors. Then I printed it on regular paper and slipped it into a page protector. We hung it on the fridge with a magnet and the stickers peel right off so we can start over every week w/o printing a new page. Plus, you can store the stickers behind the paper in the protector. Worked like a charm!

maybe instead of stickers, use magnets? I stuck stickers onto magnets for my daughter's responsibility chart. I just bought a cheap magnetic dry erase type board and drew out the chart with perm. marker, then created magnets using stickers to mark her completed responsibilities. I know responsibilities and rewards are different, but same difference in representation, right?

I seen reward chart this weekend that was velcro. They had used the dot velcro on a laminated board. One side on the board and one side on the laminated sticker, it seemed to work really well.

You could try the matte photo paper. Since it has a little texture to it the stickers may peel off easier. I think the glossy paper might be too smooth.

You could also try slipping a regular sheet of paper into one of those clear vinyl protective sleeves.

Unfortunately, if laminating didn't work then there's probably not much that you can print/write on that will allow them to come off. Sounds like some really sticky adhesive.

You could take Crystal's idea and modify it a little if you don't have a magnetic board. Instead of magnets you could create "buttons" in whatever style you like and use velcro. Or stick with the magnet idea and keep the paper on the fridge.

Another idea would be (depending on how your reward chart is set up), if the check boxes are near one of the edges of the paper you could use the binder style paper clips. You can decorate them by attaching butterflies, flowers, whatever, then she puts a clip by the corresponding box.

One last idea would be to create little pictures of whatever interests her as your "buttons" and get some of the repositionable adhesive tape used for scrapbooking to put on the back. Then they could be peeled off and reused until they loose their adhesiveness. (LOL, is that even a word?!) That would probably work really well with your laminated paper. You could even laminate your "buttons" then you'd just have to put on some more tape when they would no longer stick. Anyway...

Let us know what you come up with. I'm tired of reprinting them each week myself...

I think it's still best to use crack and peel paper stickers. If you find Sticker Printing really difficult, why not try to just ask help from printing companies out there. There are some which are really reliable. Here's an example: http://www.printrunner.com/sticker-printing.html
