Add your kids, get a printable chore list tuned to each age (6–14). Every chore comes with a one-line note on what it's actually teaching, so you know why it earns its place on your fridge.
Free, no signup, no email gate. The names and ages you enter stay on your device.
The 40 chores in this tool come from the same research base as our guide to age-appropriate chores for 6–14 year olds: what child development actually says kids can handle, and when a task starts building something rather than just getting done.
Two design choices make the lists feel tuned rather than generic. First, every chore has an age range, and the ranges overlap, so a 9-year-old gets a blend: familiar chores to consolidate, plus a few newly unlocked ones to stretch into. Second, every chore has a ceiling. A 13-year-old still makes their bed, but it no longer belongs on a growth-focused list, so it isn't there.
The "what it teaches" lines matter more than they look. A parent who knows why a chore is worth assigning is far more consistent about it, and consistency is what actually builds the habit. That's the same idea behind the age-tailored parenting tips inside the Twiggly app.
There's no catch, but there is a reason. We make Twiggly, a chore app for families, and this tool is how we show our thinking. If the list is useful, some of you will get curious about the app. That's the whole business model of this page.
No. There's no signup, no email gate, and no account. The names and ages you type never leave your device; the list is built entirely in your browser. The page runs the same standard, anonymous visit analytics as the rest of the site (only if you accept cookies), and those events carry no form data.
Ages 6 to 14. Below 6, chores are best done together rather than assigned, so a list is the wrong tool. Above 14, the goal shifts from chores to standing responsibilities that teens manage themselves.
By design. Each chore has an age range, and the ranges overlap, so every age gets a blend: some chores to consolidate and a few newly unlocked ones to stretch into. The newest-unlocked chores appear at the top of the list.
Yes. Every chore has a checkbox; uncheck anything that doesn't apply (no dog, no lawn, no dishwasher) and it won't appear on the printout.
It's a genuinely good start: it makes expectations visible and gives kids something to tick off. If you've tried paper before and watched it quietly die after two weeks, that's normal, and it's usually a design problem rather than a discipline problem. We wrote up why chore charts fail and the fixes that make them stick.
