What parents ask

How many cards should a morning routine have?

Start with three to five. A child who is learning the routine copes better with few cards than many. Add cards once the first ones stick.

Why do pictures work better than telling?

A card stays put. The message is the same every morning, and the child can see what comes next without anyone repeating it.

Can the cards show my own child?

Yes. With an account you make the same steps with your child on the cards from one photo. The photo stays in Pictofy and is not shared.
