Back-to-School Helpers: Morning Routine Chart Printable, Lunchbox Notes & Label Templates
These simple tools will save your mornings (and your sanity) if September still feels like a scramble with new classes, new times, and a million little things. Grab our free morning routine chart printable, sweet lunchbox notes printable, and label templates to keep bags, bottles, and notebooks organized from day one.
Why these printables work (especially for late starters)
- Predictable mornings: Visual checklists help kids form habits and cut down on nagging.
- Confidence at school: A small note in the lunchbox can help with first-week nerves and make you feel better.
- Less stuff gets lost: Labels on notebooks, lunchboxes, and bottles help people find their things again.
CraftifyBud edge: Most freebies online are static. Ours come as ready-to-print PDFs and editable DOCX files so you can tweak tasks, add your child’s name, or translate into your preferred language before printing.
1) Morning Routine Chart Printable
A weekly grid for kids with popular tasks like “Wake up,” “Make bed,” “Brush teeth,” “Pack bag,” and so on, and checkboxes for each day of the week to keep track of progress. Put it on the fridge and give your child a marker or stickers to use right away.
How to use it
- Print and laminate (optional).
- Circle or edit the tasks that match your family routine.
- Add a tiny reward: 5 weekday checkmarks = a weekend movie, extra story time, or picking dessert.

2) Lunchbox Notes Printable
Slip a small note in their lunchbox for a midday smile. Our sheet includes 24 short, positive messages—from “You’ve got this!” to “Can’t wait to hear your day.” Print, cut, and keep a stack handy.
Pro parent hacks
- Write a personalized line on the blank footer (“Love, Mama/Abu/Khala”).
- Color-code by day or theme (kindness, bravery, curiosity).
- For older kids/teens: turn notes into quick challenges (“Help a classmate today,” “Ask 1 new question in science”).

3) Label Templates (Rectangles & Rounds)

What’s inside
- Rectangular labels: “Name / Class / Subject” format for books and folders.
- Round labels: Perfect for water bottles and lunchboxes.

Quick tip: Print a page per child and store it in the command center or homework caddy.
How to customize (fast)
- Open the PDF version for any template.
- Edit task names, add your child’s name, or translate headings.
- Print on A4; scale to fit if needed.
Want Canva too? These layouts are simple and transfer easily—just paste our text/structure into a Canva A4 page if you prefer designing there.
Age-wise Routine Ideas
- Preschool (3–5): Get up, go to the bathroom, brush your teeth, get dressed, eat breakfast, pack a comfort toy, and put on your shoes.
- Primary (6–9): Add: make the bed, check the homework folder, fill up the water bottle, and set a goal for the day to be kind.
- Tweens/Teens (10+): Add: device dock time, planner check, PE kit, subject-wise prep.
Troubleshooting common morning hurdles
- “I forgot!” Keep the chart at eye level; use stickers for quick wins.
- Slow transitions: Add mini timers (3–5 minutes per task).
- Lost items: Pre-label everything on Sunday; keep a “launch pad” basket near the door.
FAQs
Q: Can I change tasks on the chart?
Yes—use the editable DOCX to add/remove tasks and re-print.
Q: Will these print on A4 and Letter?
Yes. Our PDFs are A4; most printers auto-scale. For Letter, select “Fit to Page.” DOCX files adapt to your page size.
Q: Do I need sticker paper for labels?
No—sticker paper is handy, but regular paper + clear tape works too.
Final Tip: Set it and forget it (almost)
Print two copies of the routine chart—one for home, one for the kid’s room. Re-print labels monthly and restock your lunchbox note stash every Sunday night. Tiny systems = calmer mornings.
