Keys
A keyring is small and easy to walk past when everything else needs to go out the door at once, yet without it the whole departure stalls or you end up locked out at night. A picture in the flow keeps the step that otherwise slips, so see the reminder below.

About this visual support
Leaving home is rarely one single action: shoes, jacket, bag, and then the keys, the smallest item but maybe the most important. Because they are so small, they land last in mind, and by then the door is already swinging shut. A forgotten keyring can mean no way back in tonight, or an extra trip back in the middle of everything else.
With the key as its own square in the picture flow, the child gets a concrete check right before the door. The picture makes the invisible step visible and ties it to the spot where the keys actually hang. It becomes easier to build a steady habit: picture, grab, door, in the same order every time until the hand does it on its own.
Put the picture by the hook or bowl where the keys live, so the support sits where the hand already goes. Then the reminder is linked to the right movement and the right place, not just a general nudge. In Routined you can place the keys last in the morning routine, the final thing the child ticks off before you leave, so the check always lands at the same moment by the door.
