Quick answer
Use the Daily Helper Board Stands to prop the board upright on a low shelf or table, creating a visible, accessible visual schedule that your toddler can interact with independently each morning.
Why the stands matter for toddler independence
The Daily Helper Board Stands are replacement components designed specifically for Lovevery's Daily Helper Board. They provide a stable base so the board stays upright during use, which is essential when your toddler is learning to interact with a visual schedule. Without the stands, the board may slide or tip over, frustrating a young child who is still developing fine motor control.
A common trade-off: the stands are simple plastic pieces that do not attach permanently to the board. They work best on a flat, non-slip surface. If you plan to mount the board on a wall, you won't need the stands at all.
Setting up the Daily Helper Board with stands
- Choose a stable, low surface: Place the board on a child-height shelf, table, or counter where your toddler can easily reach the activity tiles. A flat, non-slip surface prevents the stands from shifting. Avoid carpeted areas — the stands may wobble on soft flooring.
- Insert both stands into the board's base slots: Each stand slides into the groove along the bottom edge of the Daily Helper Board. Push them in until they click or sit flush. The board should now stand upright without leaning. Check that both stands are fully inserted before letting your child use the board — a partially inserted stand can cause the board to tip.
- Place the board in your toddler's morning path: Position the board where your child naturally passes during the morning routine — near their bedroom door, by the breakfast table, or at the entrance to the play area. This makes the visual schedule a natural part of their day. If the board is out of sight, toddlers will ignore it. Keep it in their line of sight at eye level.
- Model the routine with your child: Walk through each tile on the board together. Point to the first task (e.g., brush teeth) and do it together. Let your child move the tile to the 'done' side after completing each step. Don't expect immediate independence — toddlers need several days of guided practice before they can follow the schedule on their own.
- Adjust the schedule as your child grows: Swap out tiles as your toddler's routine changes — add a 'put on shoes' tile when they start dressing themselves, or remove a 'diaper change' tile after potty training. The stands keep the board stable through these updates. Overloading the board with too many steps can overwhelm a toddler. Stick to 3-5 key tasks for a morning routine.
