DAILY CALENDAR CENTER

Trying to have some structure during this crazy time? Every morning start your day out by completing the calendar. We keep ours in the kitchen. While breakfast is being made, my daughter completes it.

This activity is best for age 3+. For the younger kids you may need to write for them, but it will still utilize fine motor skills (velcro placing, weather circling, or moving fastener), recognizing letters/numbers, and weather symbols.

Materials:

• Laminate sheets or a laminator (optional)
• white cardstock
• scissors
• printer
• templates- 8 total, (see below)
• fastener (for weather chart)

Notes:

1- I have a printer at home, but decided it was more cost effective to go to the UPS Store and pay around a dollar for each page (cardstock/color).

2- I used laminate sheets and attached my sheets directly onto the board, leaving room for the laminate to overlap on the board. By doing this, nothing moves then. If you don’t laminate, you can tape on the board or buy a magnetic board and place magnets on the back of everything.

3– Use a hole punch or fold weather chart in half and cut a small hole for the fastner to go through.

4– If you don’t want to use a fastener for the weather chart, simply laminate it & have your child circle the weather conditions with a dry erase marker.

5– When you first start this activity, point to each place on the chart where the words/numbers are your child is writing at the time, so they become familiar where everything on the chart is.

Click on the below boxes to print each sheet. Print on cardstock 8.5 x11 inch – landscape. The Holiday page has blank squares to create any additional special holidays in your house or some I may have forgotten. Feel free to comment below or email me if you want me to add anymore!
