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
