About the reward chart maker
A reward chart (or sticker chart) helps a child practise one new habit — brushing teeth, staying in bed, using the potty, reading every day. Each time they do it, they colour a star or add a sticker. When the chart is full, they get the reward you agreed on together.
This maker prints a bright, simple chart with the child's name, the goal at the top, 5 to 40 stars, hearts or circles, and the reward written at the bottom — next to a little present in the last space.
How to use it
- Type the child's name (several names give one page each)
- Write the goal — short and clear, like "Sleep in my own bed"
- Write the reward
- Choose the number of stickers, the shape and the colours
- Press Print or Download PDF
How many stickers?
| Age | Stickers | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 2–4 | 5–7 | A reward within a week keeps little ones interested |
| 5–7 | 10–15 | About two weeks — long enough to build the habit |
| 8–10 | 20–25 | A bigger goal for a bigger reward |
| 10+ | 30–40 | A month-long challenge |
Goals that work well
- Bedtime: stay in my own bed all night, brush my teeth, in bed by 8 pm
- Potty training: use the potty, dry night
- School: read for 15 minutes, do my homework, pack my bag
- Behaviour: use kind words, share my toys, listen the first time
- Health habits: eat my vegetables, drink water instead of juice
Tips for a reward chart that works
- One goal per chart. Several goals at once are confusing.
- Agree on the reward together before you start, and write it on the chart.
- Small rewards are fine — a trip to the park, choosing the film, a new book.
- Never take stickers away. A sticker earned stays earned.
- Celebrate when it is full, then start a new chart with a new goal.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a reward chart and a chore chart?
A reward chart is for one goal, filled sticker by sticker until the reward. A chore chart lists several jobs for each day of the week. For daily jobs, try the Chore Chart Maker.
Is it free?
Yes. No sign-up and no watermark — make as many as you like.
Can I use it for potty training?
Yes — it is one of the most popular uses. Write "Use the potty", choose 5–10 spaces for a young child, and give the reward when it is full.
Does it work with stickers?
Yes. The spaces are big enough for standard round or star stickers (about 2 cm / ¾ inch). With 30 or 40 spaces they get smaller — use small stickers or just colour them in.
Can I print it in black and white?
Yes. Choose Black and white in the colours. Kids can then colour the chart in themselves.
