These are really cute! I like to use icons for my kids' chores since they can't really read - and a couple of these are chores they have, but I've never seen icons of before.

I think it'd be super cute to have a couple enlarged on the wall of a laundry room. (Note to self: Get a laundry room.) :) Love them.

Love the ironing on the table rather than a board although I'm slightly concerned about the first one on the second row, looks like she is about to cut the babies head off!!
