Need help with age appropriate Rewards

MJN9510

DD will be turning 4 in a couple weeks.  I am putting together a behavior/chore chart and am trying to come up with good reward ideas.  She will get a star for each good behavior/or chore she does for the week.  After 5 stars, she earns the privilege of staying up an extra 15 minutes.  I wanted to do something fun for every 10 stars she gets by having her pick out of a special basket, a special privilege.  I have, sleepover in mommy and daddys room, stay up an extra 30 minutes, a pack of m&m's but nothing else is coming to me.  I was hoping to have a lot of different options for her to choose from.  Any ideas?

She is not really into movies.  I was hoping to keep costs down and do things that dont cost a whole lot.  I dont mind getting her something, but it would have to be small.

I give my LO's a small monetary reward every week. They can either put it in their piggy bank, or I take them to the store, and they can buy a piece of candy. They usually put it in their piggy bank, and save their money for something that they really want.

Thanks for the ideas!  This has helped.  So far I have, Go to the park, bake cookies with Mommy, Earn $1, Get a pretzel (she loves auntie annes), sleepover in mommy and daddys bed, m&m's, stay up an extra 30 minutes, play with playdough.  If ya think of any more, send them my way. I really want to have a lot of different things to choose from. Thanks!

We've downloaded apps as a reward. Movie night where they pick the movie. Bubble baths.

I thought of another. Having a favorite meal for dinner.

Each of our kids has a prize bin, mostly items I pick up in the dollar section at Target or larger packs of things broken up.  Fun socks, small toys, coloring books, Play-Doh.  For the older two I comb the bargain CD and movie bins, put a cool pen or notepad.  Each week that they meet their star goal they get to pick one prize from the prize bin.  I will also put some quarters in there, as they love being able to put coins in their piggy banks.

Blacklight bath?  My son loves that.  You dump out the insides of two vitamin b50 capsules in a bathtub full of water and turn out the lights and switch on a blacklight.  The water glows a Mountain Dew color.  All his toys glow too for whatever reason.

I got a 100 count bottle of the vitamins for like $4 so its really cheap.

Sleeping in my bed would NEVER be a prize in my house. I, personally would not want to open that can of worms... but that's just me. I would go to the dollar store and stock up on the stuff they have there: art supplies,bubbles, jump rope, frisbee, baking accessories,little dolls or beamy babies, etc

We also used a chart.  The top prize was dinner out with one of us (although sometimes it was both of us), second was a new book (cheap and we wanted to avoid toys), and third was a trip to the library or the pool.  What he got was based on how many stickers he earned that week.  A total below the trip to the pool/library was in the punishment range.

Just make sure you pick things that you don't mind following through with over and over.
