Kids LOVE routine and structure, and if you do, too, then your family will love Easy Daysies Magnetic Schedules for Kids!
Easy Daysies was founded by a Canadian mom and teacher, and their magnetic daily schedules with both visuals and text are perfect for children aged three to 12 (although my son is two and they definitely work for us even at his young age). The fact that each magnet has both words and pictures really benefits kids who aren’t able to read yet or those that have learning or other disabilities. As a former teacher and the mother of a busy toddler with another baby on the way, I can attest to the importance of structuring my family’s days, which not only provides consistency and predictability for my son (who thrives on knowing what’s happening next), but also helps me to organize my busy day. Every morning Oliver and I get up, pull out our Easy Daysies magnetic schedule, and plan our day together – he loves it!
Easy Daysies’ most popular kits are the Every Day Kit, which comes with 18 magnets ranging in activities from breakfast to homework to bed time, and the Chores and Rewards Kit. Other kits include the Family Activities Kit, Extracurricular Kit, Special Times and Clocks Kit, Potty/Washroom Routine, Get Dressed Routine, and the Classroom Kit (an excellent purchase for those of you who are teachers!). Several of the kits also come with blank magnets so that you can personalize an activity or task to suit your family.
Now, for those of you for whom putting magnets on the fridge is not an option (we just finished a complete renovation of our kitchen and I’m hesitant to put anything on my brand new stainless steel fridge), Easy Daysies has a new product coming out this fall – the Magnetic Fold & Go Board. These boards come in two designs and are super practical, not only because they eliminate the need for a large magnetic surface in your home, but also because they double as a portable scheduling system. Another great feature of these boards is that they are divided into To Do and Done! sections for those kids (and big kids like me) who get satisfaction out of completing tasks and checking them off their list! Other magnetic surface options for using Easy Daysies schedules include using a magnetic white board or purchasing a magnetic bar that can be mounted on the wall. I use Oliver’s Potty/Washroom Routine set on the bathtub next to his potty.
Here’s something else we love about Easy Daysies (besides the company being Canadian and started by a mom, of course!) – the founder of Easy Daysies does all the art/graphic designs herself and five percent of each purchase is donated to the International Justice Mission, an organization that provides victim relief, perpetrator accountability, victim aftercare, and structural transformation for international victims of slavery, sexual exploitation, and other forms of violent oppression.
Order internationally from the Easy Daysies website, online retailer Raspberry Kids, or other stores in Canada or the USA here. Easy Daysies magnetic schedules retail from $12.99 to $17.99 CDN, depending on the kit. Help your family have an easier day, especially now that the start of school is just around the corner!

Hi Spilt milk moms,
I really love the idea of a chores and rewards magnetic kit. My husband needs some structure in his day.

I find it difficult to choose between the Everyday Kit and the Chores and Rewards Kit! Great idea!
They all look great! At this point I think the potty one would suit us best! The re-stickies in the up and coming section interest me as well.
The Every Day Kit would be perfect for us.
I like the Every Day kit. Thanks!
The family activities kit would be perfect to put on our fridge! It’s absolutely true that young kids love structure, and I know my toddler would love this schedule! Thanks for the informative review!!

I’d get the Every Day Kit and the Potty Kit for my little one who is learning to be a big girl.
I would love the Every Day kit. I think it would be great for helping my almost 4 year old learn a daily schedule!
The Everyday kit looks perfect for us.
Hello,
I would like the chores and rewards magnets.
Claudia
ooooh…i’d like the every day kit…pick me, pick me!!!
what at great idea! so many things that could be organized with this. I love it!
Can I use them to organize my child into a union? Will my cat be considered her Überlord? I like the chores and rewards kit. Although the cat says less rewards, more chores…..
i agree with claudia…my husband could use a little organizing…every day kit please.
Chores and Rewards for us. Starting allowance next week…
I would use the clocks in my classroom as a teaching resource.
Yes please, chores and rewards.
i’d like the everyday kit, svp!
I would choose the chores and rewards. It would not only be useful for our kids, but for my husband…maybe it could motivate him to do dishes more often. Ha ha.
This product is a useful tool for visual cues.
if chores & rewards will get my hubby to do dishes more often, then that’s the kit i’d like!
I think that the everyday kit would be a great asset to help my little two year old understand what lies ahead! Great for teaching her sequencing…(that’s the teacher in me coming out!!!)
Hi Ladies:
I would love to have the School Set for my Gr. 3/4 classroom. Making a visual schedule has been on my “To Do” list for a while now. Guess I need a reminder to make my own set–or better still–I hope I win a set.
We certainly need the Everyday Kit but I feel I would add on the Chores and Rewards Kit REALLY soon! These things are great!
