Information

      Chore Coins are a creative and fun way for parents to encourage their kids to complete daily tasks. Each 1.5” wooden disk is laser engraved with specific chores, such as "Do Your Homework," "Brush Your Teeth," and "Feed the Dog." These coins serve as a tangible and engaging reward system, making it easier for parents to motivate their children to develop good habits and take responsibility for their tasks.

Instruction

Step1: Assemble materials

Preview

You'll need a piece of scrap wood to create your jig and 12 wooden disks for engraving the Chore Coins. The coins are basic wooden disks commonly found in most craft stores. For this project, the disks used were sourced from Hobby Lobby.

Step2: Load File and Engrave

Preview

Load the File: Open the provided file in Creative Space.
Create the Jig: Start by creating the jig, which allows you to engrave four coins at a time.
Engrave in Groups: After cutting out the jig, engrave one group of coins at a time. The 12 coins are divided into three sets of four.
Check Settings: Before cutting the jig and engraving the coins, verify that your settings are appropriate for the material you’re using to ensure optimal results.

Step3: Clean Chore Coins

Preview

Clean the Coins: Remove any engraving residue from the coins.
Optional Finishing: If desired, apply a clear coat of polyurethane to the coins for added durability and a polished look.
Enjoy: Your Chore Coins are now ready to use!
