A chore chart app for preschoolers

Paper charts fall off the fridge and sticker charts run out of stickers. Most chore apps are lists, and a list doesn't help a kid who can't read it. TinyTasks is a chore chart made of pictures. Your preschooler sees "brush teeth" as a toothbrush, taps it when it's done, and gets a celebration. No reading required.

What works at this age

  • Two or three tasks, not ten. Start with the morning routine and add from there.
  • The same tasks every day. Predictability is the point.
  • A celebration they choose. Let them pick the animation. Ownership matters more than the reward.
  • An iPad they can reach. Counter height, on a stand, in the room where the routine happens.

Sample morning board for a 4-year-old

Four cards, in the order the morning actually happens. The icons below are the ones that ship in the app, so the board looks like this on the iPad too.

  • Get dressed iconGet dressed
  • Brush teeth iconBrush teeth
  • Eat breakfast iconEat breakfast
  • Put on shoes iconPut on shoes

On the real board, a finished card slides over to the Done column. When the last one lands there, the celebration plays.

What parents set up

  • Profiles. One per kid, with a name, an avatar and an accent color they'll recognize as theirs.
  • Tasks. Pick a name and an icon from a library of more than 90. That's the whole form.
  • Schedule. Daily, on certain days, or only in the afternoon.
  • Passcode. A 4-digit PIN keeps the parent dashboard closed to small fingers. Kids can only mark things done.
