Your Rutimo weekly planner is ready in four steps: print, cut, attach, and get started.
Print the activity cards first, then the weekly planner. In your print settings, choose "Actual size" or set the scale to 100%, not "Fit to page".
Tip: Standard 80 g/m² paper works fine. For more sturdiness, use 160 g/m² card stock.
Cut out the activity cards along the lines. A paper trimmer is faster and cleaner than scissors.
Tip: Stack a few sheets and cut them together to save time.
Put velcro dots or magnets on the cards and the weekly planner. Soft side on the card, rough side on the planner.
Tip: Round velcro dots (Ø 13-15 mm) fit well on the activity cards.
Sunday evening works well for setting up the cards for the new week with your child. Kids who help plan often stick to the routine better.
Tip: Start with 3 to 5 fixed activities per day and add more if you need to.
Laminated planners and cards survive sticky fingers. Add velcro dots after laminating.
Let your child choose and place the cards. That builds independence, and the routine is more likely to stick.
Turn setting up the weekly planner into a regular ritual, for example every Sunday after breakfast.
A few fixed cards that actually happen beat a packed plan that frustrates everyone. You can always add more later.
Hang the planner where your child can see it, not only where adults look. Then it gets used.
Put recurring activities, like morning and evening, in the same place each time. Familiarity builds faster that way.
