Free PDF + editable BoboCreate template

How to Customize a Kids Visual Routine

Four printable pages with painted pictures a child can follow before they can read: a morning chart, a bedtime chart and twelve cut-apart cards.

Both downloads are the free edition. The .bobo file opens in BoboCreate Desktop.

The editable file imports in BoboCreate Free 0.3.19 or later. It uses one of Free's three design places, and its own artwork does not count toward your three uploaded images. Older versions of the app need BoboCreate activated to import it, so update BoboCreate first.
