Do-N-Slide product review & Giveaway

Jun 23, 2009 Leave a Comment


Recently our family was chosen to review the Do-N-Slide from Our Kids To Yours. With a young child, I figured anything that will help excite him into doing his daily chores would be welcome in our house, so we decided to try it out.

Now, we received out Do-N-Slide a few weeks ago, and what a great tool it has been. Now, when Ben gets up in the morning, one of the first things he does is check what he's got to do. Since he's only 4, he does not have a lot of chores, but the regulars like making his bed and picking up his toys are just a few of his daily jobs.

Every night we set his chores for the next day, I always include things like brushing his teeth, making his bed, feeding the pets (he's got a fish), picking up his toys and we'll usually add one or two extra chores like taking out the trash and clearing the supper table (one of his favs). At the end of the day, if all the cards have been slid over to the "done" side, he gets a loonie to put in his piggy bank. (We're Canadian, to those who don't know, a loonie is a $1 coin) That gives him the opportunity to earn $7 per week in allowance. (I believe in teaching a child to earn, not giving everything the want) If even one card isn't slid over or not completed, he doesn't earn anything. (I don't pay for half a job)

The Do-N-Slide has been a wonderful addition to our family chore list, and I'm excited to tell you that one of you will be able to add this awesome tool to your own family routine. To enter head over to Our Kids To Yours and check out the site. Let me know which additional pack of cards you would like for your Do-N-Slide.
