Beau Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Hi, This site is very good for pictures. My advice to you is invest in a laminator - they don't cost too much nowadays and once used you will be hooked forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 We have a daily routine board. I have laminated all my pictures and the children then place them on a magnetic board. I have glued magnets onto the back of them, however, they are not always successful so the children just place small circle magnets on them to keep them on the board. I use one sheet of A4 paper and cut it into 4 equal parts. For pictures I either use Google images or cut pictures out of old resource catalogues, or you could use clothes magazines for coats/shoes etc. I agree, buy a laminator - you will never look back. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 And also try the Sparklebox website - they do stuff for visual timetables and its all free to download these days! I'll echo what everyone says about a laminator - a must have, in my opinion! Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Our child's portage worker advised us to use 'widgit' signs for our timeline, to standardize the 'pictures' used across the various settings attended by the child. We had to buy the software/licence from the website (it might be widgit or widget). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiny Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 My advice to you is invest in a laminator - they don't cost too much nowadays and once used you will be hooked forever! I have a supervisor who is totally addicted to laminating. She would laminate anything and everything!! There is a joke at work, if we stand still to long she would laminate one of us!!

Sue R Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 In our Toddler room it's made up of photos of children and staff doing the various things - makes it more personal. Pre-school uses widgets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Instead of using clip art - why not take pictures of the children doing these daily activities and then print off and laminate for your daily routine chart. The children will be able to relate to it more then as well good luck, help this helps xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
