Explore the membership →Mornings go more smoothly when children can see the plan. This chart breaks getting ready into eight clear illustrated steps, from waking up to heading out the door, so your child can follow along at their own pace.
Pictures do the reminding for you. That means fewer repeated instructions, fewer power struggles, and a child who gets to feel proud of doing it themselves.
What's included
- Morning Routine picture page with eight illustrated steps
- "My Morning Routine" tick-off checklist
- Gentle, consistent illustrations that match the Evening Routine Chart
- Print-ready PDF
How to use it
- 1Print the chart and pop it on the fridge or by the front door, at your child's eye level.
- 2Walk through it together for the first few mornings. Point and wonder ("What's next on your chart?") rather than instructing.
- 3Pop it in a plastic sleeve or laminate it so your child can tick with a whiteboard marker and wipe it clean for tomorrow.
- 4Celebrate finishing, not speed. A slow morning that gets there is still a win.
Who it's for
Children from about 3 to 8, especially little ones who find transitions hard, who thrive on predictability, or who are going through a big change like starting school or moving house.

Questions, answered
How do I get my printable?
It's an instant download. As soon as checkout is complete, you'll get a link to your PDF by email and in your account, ready to print.
What paper size is it?
Everything is designed on A4 (Australia, UK and Europe). Printing on US Letter? Choose "Fit to page" in your print settings and it prints nicely.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes, as often as you like for your own family or classroom. Tip: pop it in a plastic sleeve and use a whiteboard marker so it can be reused every day.
What does trauma-informed mean here?
It means the tools are designed to help children feel safe and in control: predictable steps, gentle shame-free language, room for choice, and rewards that are never taken away.
Is this included in the membership?
Yes. Every family printable is included in the membership, along with Grounded Days Kids, the online versions your child can tap on a tablet or phone.
Can I get a refund?
Digital downloads can't be returned, so we don't offer refunds if you simply change your mind. But if a file is faulty, doesn't match its description or you were charged by mistake, you're covered by Australian Consumer Law and we'll fix it, replace it or refund you. Just get in touch.
