A to-do list that
your child ticks off yourself
Chores with pictures, saving up points and their own world to look after.
Your child taps their own photo, sees what needs doing today and ticks it off themselves. On the tablet or phone you already have at home. You set up the chores, your child does the rest.
What your child sees on the kiosk
The child kiosk is your child's own screen. No menus from the parent app, no settings, just what they need for today.
Own to-do list per part of the day
This morning, this afternoon, this evening. Every task has a picture, so even a child who can't read yet knows what needs doing. They can tick it off themselves.
Read aloud and record
Turn on read-aloud and the kiosk will read aloud. Your child can also speak instead of typing, for example to add something to the wish list.
Tap your photo
Each child taps their own photo and sees their own list. If you'd like siblings not to be able to see each other's lists, give each child their own PIN code.
A daily schedule for your child, without a magnetic board
A magnetic planning board with icons works, as long as someone moves the magnets around every evening. On the kiosk, your child's daily schedule is set out automatically: chores that recur every day appear on the right day, appointments from the family calendar appear under "What's coming up", and in the evening your child sees what's for dinner.
- Chores per part of the day, with picture and time
- Recurring chores: daily, weekly or on fixed days
- Today's calendar and the coming days
- Works on any tablet or phone, even an old one
Want to hang it up large in the kitchen? Then it becomes a digital planning board for the whole family.
What do you put on your child's chore list?
Start small. Three or four fixed chores a day are enough to build a routine. An example of a chore list for a child of about six:
- This morning: getting dressed, brushing teeth, packing school bag
- This afternoon: put the lunchbox in the kitchen, tidy up a bit
- This evening: set the table, put on pyjamas, brush teeth
What a four-year-old can handle differs quite a bit from a ten-year-old. Our tips on divide household chores show what suits each age.
Save points, your way
Every chore can earn points. How many is up to you, and 0 is fine too. Some parents don't give points for everyday things like brushing teeth, but do for an extra job. With the points, your child saves up for a reward that you set together. Once they have enough, they request the reward and you say yes, or ask them to wait a bit longer.
Prefer no rewards? Leave them out, then your child will just see the points grow. Not sure whether to choose points or pocket money by age? You can also have both side by side.
- Set points per task yourself, even 0
- You choose the rewards yourself, or leave them out
- Your child requests, you approve
My world: your own world to look after
Besides the chore list, your child has their own world: a farm with fields, a barn and a pond. With saved-up points they build a vegetable garden, a windmill or a beehive, and buy animals that they name themselves. These animals need looking after every day. The hen wants grain, the vegetable garden wants water from the well, and only once you've fed them do the eggs appear. In the evening the animals curl up to sleep, and the world changes along with the seasons. Around Sinterklaas, Christmas and Easter, something new appears automatically.
If your child forgets a day, nothing dies and nothing disappears. The animal looks a bit greyer, and tomorrow it simply starts again.
Fair's fair: the world is a reward too, just one that doesn't cost money, ice creams or extra screen time. If you don't want it, you can turn it off for each child.
- Build and look after animals with saved points
- Cause and effect: feed first, then harvest
- Seasons and holidays
- On or off per child
Calm to look at
The kiosk was designed with calm as the starting point: big buttons, soft colours, a predictable layout and no adverts. That helps children who get overstimulated easily, and it helps you, because the tablet in the kitchen doesn't shout for attention.
