Create Detailed Chores with Instructions, Videos, and Images

Enhance Chore Clarity with a Personal Touch

Teaching new tasks or ensuring chores are done to your family’s standards often requires more than a verbal explanation. Kids might miss key details, feel overwhelmed, or simply need a little extra guidance. That’s where S’moresUp’s chore attachments come in.

By adding instructions, images, videos, and smart lists to chores, you can provide clear and engaging guidance for every task. Whether it’s showing how to set the table, organize a bookshelf, or clean a bathroom, these attachments transform chores from simple to instructional and empowering.

How to Add Attachments to Chores

1. Notes for Simple Instructions:

• Add written guidelines to ensure clarity.
• Example: “Fold clothes and place them in the top drawer. Don’t forget to sort socks!”

2. Smart Lists for Multi-Step Tasks:

• Break down chores into manageable steps using a checklist.
• Example: For “Tidy Your Room,” create a list with steps like “Pick up toys,” “Vacuum the carpet,” and “Make the bed.”

3. Images for Visual Guidance:

• Attach photos to show what the finished task should look like.
• Example: Add a picture of a properly arranged dining table to “Set the Table” to eliminate confusion.

4. Videos for Step-by-Step Demonstrations:

• Include short videos to explain complex tasks.
• Example: For “Organize Bookshelf,” add a video tutorial on sorting by genre or size.
