Personalize Your Calendar

Most of us have that yearly calendar hanging on the wall to keep track of our busy lives. We either pick it up from the bank or even spend money to buy one. Why not make it personal and teach your child a lesson with it?

This is a great way to teach months of the year, days of the week, and days of the month.
Begin with having your child draw pictures, color pictures, or even take pictures. Paste on the top of a large piece of construction paper or card stock. You can find calendar templates all over the internet for the entire year.

Print out each month and paste on the bottom of the construction paper or card stock. Finish off with a hole punched in the top left corner and attach all twelve months with a metal ring. You can also have your child mark important dates on the calendar. This is simple to do and creates something we all use, but makes it personal.

Wishing all of you a Happy New Year!
