Calendars For All Ages

I always love how perfect the timing is on some of my children’s curriculum. Each of my children have been learning about calendars and we have had so much fun that I wanted to share it with you.

Timmy is 5 and we found this fun calendar from Wal-Mart. It’s made by http://myactiveminds.com/ , but I wasn’t able to find it on line. I hope you can find it at a local store, because it’s FUN! This is a magnetic calendar board complete with all the month names and numbers. It also has some fun smaller magnets of symbols for various appointments such as doctor, dentist, birthdays, and holidays.

Each of my girl’s takes turns teaching Timmy his calendar every week. Every day Timmy gets a number out to place it on the calendar. One of his sisters helps him with his counting and they start at ‘one’ every day. By the end of the month he learns 30-31 days in a row.

Gina is also learning calendars so I created a blank calendar for her to fill in for practice. Each month she’ll be able to create her own calendar and we have a wonderful collection of rubber stamps and ink pads for her to decorate them with. If you’d like to have this blank calendar, just click here. When you get there you might see a magnifying glass where your cursor is. Simply click that to see it full size and right click to save.

Gina also enjoys the calendar activities at Starfall.com and there are more activities that Monica enjoyed at InstructorWeb.com

Jessica researched the history of the calendar and was excited to find the Latin names for the months of the calendar and she was able to incorporate that into her Latin lessons.

What a blessing to find different age level calendar activities all in one week for my family! I hope you’ll enjoy them as well!
