By the end of this list you’ll have sixteen chart ideas ready to copy this week, no design skills required!
Some are for potty training, some track growth, some just reward good behavior around the house. There’s a little something for every stage, am I right?
I scrolled through way more pins than I’d like to admit to put this together, lol! Half of them looked so pretty but needed a craft degree to actually make.
So I kept only the ones that are doable on a everyday afternoon. Budget-friendly, low mess and things you probably already own.
A few use stickers. A few use magnets. One uses actual chalk, which honestly might be my favorite discovery in this whole roundup!
Grab whichever one matches your situation and scroll down. Under each idea there’s a link to the full step-by-step, so you’re never guessing.
POTTY CHART IDEAS
Princess Castle Potty Chart
Turrets, little flags and a sticker slot on every stair of the castle.
This one turns bathroom trips into a quest, which honestly feels like cheating in the best way, haha!
- Turret template included
- Prints on regular paper
- Stickers go up the staircase steps
Superhero Potty Training Poster
OMG! Are you guys seeing this superhero poster right now? Capes, city skylines and a progress bar shaped like a lightning bolt.
Laminate it once and it survives months of marker check marks.
- Laminate for reuse
- Wipes clean with a paper towel
- Works with dry erase markers
Ocean Fish Potty Chart
Little fish stickers swim across a coral reef every time there’s a success.
Turns out the blues and oranges work in any bathroom, not just a kid’s one, lol!
- Coral reef backdrop
- Fish stickers sold in packs of fifty
- Fits on the back of a door
Printable Weekly Potty Chart
Who says a potty chart needs to be fancy? This printable weekly one is just a clean grid with days across the top.
It resets every Sunday, so the pressure never piles up. Not that piling pressure was ever the goal, haha!
This is the one I’d hand to a friend who wants something simple and done in five minutes.
- Resets every Sunday
- One page, seven days
- No coloring required
Wooden Ruler Growth Chart
Growth chart ideas rarely get better than a wooden ruler version.
It hangs flat on the wall and doubles as actual decor.
Mark heights in pencil first, since kids grow faster than plans allow.
- Doubles as wall decor
- Untreated wood from the craft aisle
- Pencil marks before the paint pen
Tree Branch Growth Chart
Aww! How sweet is this tree branch growth chart? Real bark, little wooden birds and tags hanging off the branches with names and dates.
This is the project for anyone who likes their decor a little rustic and a little sentimental. Who doesn’t love that?
- Rustic hallway favorite
- A branch from the yard works fine
- Tags hang with jute string
Canvas Growth Chart Banner
I always forget to unroll mine before guests show up, then scramble!
This canvas banner rolls up when company comes over, which is honestly the best feature.
No nail holes, no permanent marks on the wall.
Somehow it still ends up crooked every single time, lol!
- Rolls up in seconds
- No nails needed
- Stencils from the craft store
Hot Air Balloon Growth Chart
A basket at the bottom, a striped balloon climbing up the wall.
Every inch earns its own little cloud sticker like a tiny celebration.
My youngest names every cloud sticker after a different relative, which gets confusing fast.
Somehow Grandma has three clouds and Dad still has none, lol!
- A cloud sticker per inch
- Striped fabric or paper both work
- Fits a standard door frame
Magnetic Chore Reward Chart
Chore names on one side, movable magnets that slide over to done.
Reward chart ideas usually start with a magnet board somewhere in this territory.
My fridge is basically command central, so this fits right in.
It sits next to the grocery list, so nobody forgets to check it, lol!
- Slides right onto the fridge
- Magnetic sheet from the craft aisle
- Chore names swap out easily
Popsicle Stick Reward Chart
Got a bunch of popsicle sticks lying around from summer? This is exactly what they’re for. Paint the tips, write a task on each and flip them into a done jar.
It costs basically nothing and looks surprisingly cute lined up in a mug!
- Costs next to nothing
- Sticks already in the pantry drawer
- Paint dries in under an hour
Marble Jar Reward System
The marble jar system is old school and it still works. Every good moment earns a marble and a full jar earns a prize.
There’s something satisfying about the clink of glass that a sticker chart just can’t match. I can’t explain it, but it’s true!
A mason jar and a bag of marbles from the dollar store is really all it takes.
- That satisfying clink
- Any jar from the pantry works
Clothespin Potty Progress Chart
This clothespin chart is genius for anyone who hates redrawing charts every week. Clip a wooden pin higher up the ladder with each success.
It’s the diy potty training chart ideas pick I’d recommend first if you want something reusable and cheap.
Write encouraging words on a few pins for a fun surprise along the way.
- Reusable, no redrawing
- Clothespins from the dollar store
- Ladder printed on cardstock
Felt Board Potty Chart
Little felt stars stick and peel off a felt background with zero mess.
This is the quiet activity version of a potty chart.
Zero mess also means zero excuse to skip cleanup, haha!
- Zero mess, all texture
- Stars restick hundreds of times
Paper Plate Potty Wheel
A paper plate spins into a full progress wheel with just a brad in the middle.
Color in a wedge with every success until the whole plate fills up.
Cheap, fast and honestly kind of genius for a rainy afternoon!
- One brad, one plate
- Colors in with regular markers
Velcro Star Potty Chart
Velcro stars stick, peel and restick without ever losing their grip. That means this chart lasts through an entire training season.
No tape residue on the wall either, which my landlord would appreciate, lol!
Same!
- Survives the whole season
- No tape residue on the wall
Chalkboard Potty Tally Chart
A painted board, a chalk pen and a fresh tally mark for every trip.
Wipe it clean at the end of the week for a blank slate.
My tally marks always end up crooked, but nobody seems to mind.
This is the one for anyone who likes decor grown up and tracking dead simple! How cute is this?
- A blank slate every week
- Chalkboard paint from the hardware store
- Wipes clean with a damp cloth
