Melissa & Doug Magnetic Responsibility Chart - Chore Chart
The Melissa & Doug Magnetic Responsibility Chart is the kid-tested approach to good behaviour that actually sticks: catch them being good, reward with a magnet on the chart, watch the habits compound. Designed for ages 3 and up, the chart has earned its place in the family kitchen of households where "the chore chart that fell off the fridge last week" is a memory.
The chart opens like a book on its fabric-hinged boards. The left board displays the behaviour grid (a dry-erase surface so you can customise daily targets), while the right board keeps all 90 magnets organised and within easy reach. A sturdy attached cord lets you hang it from a hook or doorknob - no constant fishing it off the fridge floor.

About Melissa & Doug
Melissa & Doug is the American family-owned brand that has been making screen-free toys and parenting tools for over 35 years. The Responsibility Chart is part of their classic-classroom-meets-modern-parenting range that focuses on building good habits through positive reinforcement rather than punishment.
Recommended for ages 3 years and up. The chart works particularly well from ages 3-8 when kids are building independence and routines. Older kids can take ownership of writing their own goals on the dry-erase surface.
90 magnets in total. They cover daily responsibilities (brush teeth, make bed, get dressed), positive behaviours (kind words, sharing, listening), and reward icons. There's variety enough to customise for different ages and household priorities.
Yes - the chart surface is dry-erase, so you can write specific weekly goals, custom rewards, or family-specific routines directly onto it. Combine with the included magnets for a personalised system.
Pick a few daily goals (e.g. "brush teeth", "tidy toys", "be kind to brother"). When the child completes a goal, they add a magnet to the chart. Set a weekly reward threshold (e.g. 10 magnets = ice cream). The visible progress and immediate magnet reward is what makes it stick where other systems fail.
