This make-your-own calendar includes twelve pictures to color as well as blank calendar pages so children can fill in the days for each month. Each picture includes a verse or saying related to the theme of homes. It is undated, but includes thumbnail calendar dates in the front for several years ahead.

This book is designed to help your children express their creativity. By coloring the pictures carefully, they can enjoy them each day of the month. Later, verses from outdated calendars may be framed to be used as mottoes.

As children fill in the numerals for each day of the month, they will observe that a month may begin on any day of the week. Below the numerals, they may want to write birthdays of family or friends, or other important events.

We hope this calendar will increase children's interest in understanding and using a calendar regularly.
