DIY Photo Daily Routine Board

 

Today I am sharing the photo routine board that I created for my son's morning and evening routines. I first made it when he was a toddler, to help him with transitions. I also wanted something that would go nicely with our decor in our living room! So I created a wooden board with magnet photos of him doing each task and it hangs from a ribbon, on a command hook, at his level. 

I change the morning or night one depending on what time of day it is and we often carry it upstairs with us during the routines. I love that the board lets my son know what is next on his routine board, without me having to regularly say it to him. I just encourage him to look on his board to see what is next.

I took photos of him (on a day with no plans!) doing each task in his morning and evening routine. He found this very funny and we had a laugh together!

I then got the photos printed as 5cm magnets from Photobox. I bought a pack of 2 wooden boards (I am sure you could get similar here) and an A4 adhesive magnet sheet. I cut the magnet sheet up to make a strip across each board and another for the top square magnet (to show a sun or moon to represent morning or evening). We then drilled holes in the top and added a ribbon so it's easy to display.

I love that these are magnet photos so we can change the order around if needed and get newer ones printed to update it if anything changes. As always with my DIY project, once our family has finished using this board I plan to donate it and hope it can be used by more families. 

You could make this at home and get the photos printed as magnets from the link above. I have also included a Canva template if you preferred to use that, for you to drag and drop your photos into it (along with a sun and moon design) in case you wanted to print your own at home onto card.
