I have shown you two parts of my chore chart system, how to make the bottle cap magnet tokens and the "help wanted" magnet board. Now I will show you the "heart" of my system. It is very simple to make. I purchased this caddy at Hobby Lobby. At $5.99 (plus my 40% off coupon) it was a steal! My new best friend, spray paint, made adding color a breeze.
