Hygiene routine – visual schedule

How to use the schedule

1. 1

   Print it and put it up

   Print on A4 and put the schedule at your child's eye level where the routine happens, such as by the front door or the bathroom sink. Laminate it to make it last.

2. 2

   Go through it together

   Look at the pictures with your child before the routine starts and say the steps out loud. Point to the picture instead of repeating the instruction.

3. 3

   Tick off or turn over

   Let your child tick off, move a clothes peg or turn the picture over when a step is done. That way it is clear what is finished and what is left.

4. 4

   Make it fit your child

   Swap images, change the labels or remove steps in the schedule builder. A schedule that matches your everyday life is easier to follow.
