☀️ Why Visual Routine Cards Are a Summer Essential for Toddlers

 Summer often brings shifting routines — later mornings, travel days, and lots of transitions between meals, naps, play, and outings. That’s a lot for toddlers to process.

Here’s how visual schedule cards help:

• ✅ Keep a sense of routine and structure even when plans change

• ✈️ Support smoother travel or vacation days

• 🧠 Give toddlers a visual “map” of their day (no more surprise transitions!)

• 🏡 Help at home, daycare, or when visiting relatives

• 📅 Build independence and reduce power struggles
