Easy Daysies Keeps Kids on Track

One of the most difficult things for parents of young kids is getting them into a routine. Parents can get kids organized, independent and on track with the Easy Daysies Magnetic Schedules for Kids. As a teacher, Elaine Tan Comeau always had a sign or visual for what she calls “the shape of the day.” Parents began noticing how their children responded to the visual cues and asked her for copies to use at home. When she had her own kids, she began creating a magnetic version for the fridge, and thus Easy Daysies was born! With these magnets, kids learn routine, responsibility, independence, and sight word recognition.

Kits include Get Dressed and Bathroom Routines, Family & Extracurriculars, Chores and Special Times. For back-to-school time, carry the Easy Daysies Big Bundle, which includes the Easy Daysies Starter Kit with Every Day magnets, the Fold & Go magnetic board (2-sided Apple Tree design and Daisy design) and dry erase marker, as well as three add-on packs. Featuring the 75 most popular magnets and blank magnets, this bundle has everything parents need to start having easier days right now! Learning should be fun. With Easy Daysies, it is!
