Photo Choice Board

Two layouts. "I want" boards are for things your child asks for. "I choose" boards are for picking between options you offer, and the two-choice board has an "or" between them. Each comes with 2, 3, 4 and 6 choices for the wall and the table, and pocket boards with 2 or 3 choices for the bag.

What’s inside

22 pages

1. Wall boards (portrait, for the wall or the fridge): I want and I choose, with 2, 3, 4 and 6 choices
2. Tabletop boards (landscape, to lie flat on a table or tray, choices side by side): I want and I choose, with 2, 3, 4 and 6 choices
3. 6 pocket boards with 2 and 3 choices for the mini cards
4. 48 large photo-frame cards with a 2 inch photo window and a label line, by topic: snacks and drinks; toys and play; outside, places and people; clothes, shows and quiet time
5. 48 mini cards with a 1 inch photo window
6. 12 write-on cards with lines instead of a photo window, for a word until you have a photo
7. Two "I want" strips and an "I choose" strip: your child moves the card they picked onto the strip
8. A how-to page (start with two real choices, hold the board at eye level, wait) and a shot list of about 30 things to photograph, grouped like the cards

How it works

1. Take photos of the real things your child chooses between, from their eye level.
2. Print them 2 inches square (six fit on one 4x6 print) and glue them into the card frames.
3. Print the boards at 100% scale, laminate, and add hook-and-loop dots (Velcro).

Sizes and format

• 2 PDF files: the same 22 pages in US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and in A4. Cards and slots are the same size in both.
• Every slot is sized for a laminated card with a 1/8 inch clear edge.
• Every page has a 1 inch check ruler. Print at "Actual size" with background graphics on.
• The photo frames are blank: you add your own photos. No clipart and no stock photos are included.
• Instant download. No physical item is shipped. Laminating pouches, hook-and-loop dots and photo prints are not included.
• The cards are the same size as the ones in our Photo Visual Schedule, so one set of photos works on both.
