72 Daily Routine Cards | Visual Routine & Transition Support

Know what’s happening now. See what’s coming next.

The Creative Sprout 72 Daily Routine Cards are a beautifully illustrated set of visual prompts designed to make everyday routines easier to see, understand and follow.

For children who find verbal instructions, transitions or changing expectations difficult, having routines represented visually can take some of the guesswork out of what comes next. The cards can be used to build morning and bedtime routines, organise everyday tasks, prepare for transitions or create a visual plan for the day.

Rather than expecting children to hold a whole sequence of instructions in their head, each card provides a simple visual reference they can return to.

Designed to grow with children from toddlerhood through the early school years, they're a practical support for home, school, therapy and other everyday environments.

Create a setup that works for your space

The generous 10 × 10 cm card size makes these easy to see and gives you plenty of freedom in how you display them.

Arrange your chosen cards on a pegboard, picture ledge, shelf, noticeboard or wall, use string and pegs to create a hanging routine, or place them in your own card stands or holders.

You can create one permanent routine, swap cards as plans change, or set up different displays around the home for morning, bedtime, getting ready or other everyday routines.

There's no required display system. Use the cards in whatever way works best for your child, your routine and your space.

A little ND-affirming note

Visual routines aren't about making every day perfectly organised.

They're about making expectations more visible and reducing how much information a child has to remember, process or work out on the fly.

Some days the routine will go exactly to plan.

Some days the cards will need rearranging.

Both count.
