How to use the age groups

The groups are examples from the American Academy of Pediatrics, not rules: children of the same age differ. Start with jobs a child can finish alone, show them once, and add the next group's jobs as they grow.

Edit the list before printing

The rows are a starting list. Change, delete or add rows in the entries box: one row per line, with a vertical bar between columns. A row in capitals prints as a heading without a checkbox.
