Who doesn’t love a reward every now and then?
Reward stickers are a simple, low-cost way to help motivate children and encourage positive behavior at home and in the classroom.
They are easy to incoporate into learning, are fun and customizable, and give children a reason to smile!
If you are trying to reinforce good behavior, celebrate little wins or encourage learning, printable reward stickers are an excellent tool to help children feel proud of their accomplishments.
Tips for Using Reward Stickers
As a former teacher, I always had reward stickers in my arsenal.
They work really well with younger kids who love colorful and fun designs. Older kids may prefer more subtle rewards or rewards of “freedom” such as playing a game.
Stickers can be part of a consistent routine. Tie them to daily or weekly goals so children’s can build habits.
You can even consider pairing stickers with a small prize system for some more excitement.
These printable packs of reward stickers will help you save money compared to store-bought ones.
Why Reward Stickers Work
- Build intrinsic motivation through visual progress.
- Provide instant positive feedback children can physically see.
- Help build daily routines for behavior, chores, and schoolwork.
- Create a sense of accomplishment with small, frequent rewards.
Additional Tip:
Set clear expectations for earning stickers — be specific so children know exactly what behavior earns a sticker.
