I know this isn't that amazing in comparison to big fancy shows, but I wanted to show my family and friends in the desert, dry state of Utah the kind of shows our neighbors put on. We can enjoy them from our own front yard. It's not quite as good as the neighborhood show our friend, who has a license to do the really big stuff, puts on but it's more than you'll see in the Utah neighborhoods.

Spider-Man Chore Chart

I decided to make Timothy a chore chart and ended up spending a lot more time on it than I thought I was going to. So, I decided to share it with you all.

If you have a child that likes Spider-Man, feel free to copy (or download) it and use it. It can be used as a chore chart, potty chart or any reward chart for that matter. Just add a sticker, one after the other, until you come to a prize. We do small prizes from the dollar store a long the way as a motivation and a big prize at the end. You can decide how much to spend on big prizes depending on your budget.

Timothy responds well to this type of motivation. At age 6, we can't expect a lot from him, but it makes chores and other tasks that he can do fun.
