Nancy in Spain
Nancy used The Trip Clip's Custom List to create
bilingual flash cards for Ukrainian refugee children.
"Over the last week or so, we have seen a growing number of Ukrainian families, mainly mothers with
children, arriving on the island, fleeing war. Some of the children are already starting school. I felt
a lot for the poor children, and the poor mothers, sending their children in a new school, with no friends,
and not knowing a word of the language. What if he/she needs to pee and can't ask? What if he/she is hungry?
What if the teacher is trying to ask her how she feels?"

Heather from Washington
Heather used The Trip Clip to create a
hook & loop chore chart for pet care.
"We have 5 people in the house, and we never knew who had done what. We were constantly asking people and
texting them to find out if anyone had already fed the dogs. Using the Trip Clip to coordinate my house
full of independent people makes communicating status on daily tasks much easier." -Heather

Meghann from Minnesota
Meghann used The Trip Clip® to create a
combined daily and weekly checklist for her kids.
"I love your lists. I print a daily list and put it on the left, then I print weekly chores and orient them to the right of the page. It’s a bit of cutting after printing, but gets everything on one page for the kiddos!
I might print one more thing for my oldest (10) to remind her of her monthly and quarterly intentions and goals. " –Meghann

Cassy from California
Cassy used The Trip Clip® to create a how to make coffee
picture checklist for a famliy member with dementia.
"I printed a bunch of checklists for my kids and liked them so much that I am trying to set some up for my Mom, who has dementia. One of her current challenges is making coffee in a drip machine. " –Cassy

Heidi from Virginia
Heidi used the
school schedule activity to make a homework tracker:
"I have been a member for YEARS now…. started when my ADHD/Autistic/gifted boy was young, and now he’s old, and now using this with my ADHD/Autistic/Gifted girl to try to get her homework in order. [This] is a listing of my daughters ODD day and EVEN day schedules, with a space under each subject for her to write her homework in. Going to try this instead of the agenda the school gave her…. it may be less overwhelming."

(click here)
Then I bought these removable hanging strips so I could put them on our wall:
Command Picture Hanging Strips Value Pack, Medium, White, 12-Pairs (17204-12ES)
(click here)
We added a bottom row for After School to-dos. My kids wrote their name and decorated as they chose. (My daughter is in Kindergarten, son in 3rd grade). "

Traci from Colorado
Traci made a visual
hook and loop checklist for kids on the Autism Spectrum
"I know your product was not originally intended for special needs kids, but I just want to say how much I love having it at my fingertips for use with children that are on the Autism spectrum. I’ve made many visual schedules/checklists by slightly modifying your product from its original intended use.
I used the weekly chore chart option to print all the pictures I needed for [my daughter’s] daily schedule, but I wanted movable pieces. Once I printed, I cut the pictures apart to make individual pieces, laminated them, and attached them with velcro. Many of the pieces I used the custom feature to make them more specific."

Heather from Washington
Heather made a
magnetic checklist using a cookie sheet:
"I went to the local thriftshop and picked up a cookie sheet for $1.00 (I brought a magnet with me to make sure it was magnetic). You can buy yours here. Then, I spray-painted it a bright "you can’t ignore me" yellow and screwed it to the wall.
I am not exaggerating when I say that it worked like magic! Not only are my kids motivated to clear off their “To Do” column, but it is a great reminder for me about what they are supposed to have done. "

Robin from Texas
Robin made a picture grocery list
