Description
Extension Activities: More Ways to Play and Learn:
What is today? For a child, that simple question can have so many answers--and this daily calendar helps satisfy them all! Kids will feel a greater sense of control and responsibility when they help post the day of the week, date, weather, and special events on the large magnetic board for all to see. There's even a space to post their mood--an excellent way to open communication and encourage children to gauge their own emotions. Updating the information is simple: Simply take a preprinted magnet from the lower magnetic board (which hangs below the calendar to keep magnets within easy reach). Then place it on the calendar to fill in the information . . . or make a custom magnet by writing on one of two dry-erase magnet tiles! There are fields for day, date, season, weather, temperature, activities, holiday, and mood.
Dimensions: 12" x 15.75" x 1" Packaged
Extension Activities: More Ways to Play and Learn:
- Help the child fill in the calendar details in the blue panel. Talk about the names for the day, date, months, and year as you identify the proper tiles and put each one in its place.
- Ask the child to look, listen, and feel to make observations about the day's weather.
- Ask the child to slide the arrow marker to record the temperature and place one or more tiles to describe the weather. Identify the season as well, talking about how the day's weather relates to it.
- Talk about the different activities planned for the day or any special holidays, and help the child find one or more tiles for the activities area.
- Look at the different emotions tiles and ask the child to identify the face that matches the way he or she is feeling today. Or offer the child a dry-erase marker to draw a face on the blank yellow circle to match his or her mood.
- Use the blank rectangular tile to create your own holidays, activities, or weather descriptions using a dry-erase marker. Then wipe away the writing to use it again!
Suitable for ages 3 years old and up.

Disappointed
We were very excited about this calendar. I waited a long time to get it. When it arrived & it was the right time, I started opening it & my little one was so excited. Needless to say it went in a bag. The magnets are almost all covered in a thin plastic that is very dangerous. I wish after waiting so long I looked up reviews. I just didn’t think I’d need to. When my husband did people wrote & shared photos of the exact thing we saw. It was a big expense to me & wasted. I wrote Well an email a week ago but haven’t received a response yet, which is strange. I will contact Melissa & Doug as well. I don’t know what to do with it. It can’t be used. On a lower level of, not a totally big deal, & certainly on whomever packages them, Melissa & Doug should have a little buffer of cardboard between the rivets with how it’s folded. They were indented into the wood on the opposite piece & left makings on it. Just over all disappointed. Ended up giving my little one a back up “sorry your calendar was broken” toy in the meantime.

Quality is not good.
The concept is good and there are lots of opportunities to learn about daily routine through this toy. The quality is not good and magnets are falling apart from the board. My son is not happy because of that. I feel the product is overpriced based on quality.

My one year old daughter is OBSESSED with this calendar. Updating it is the highlight of her day!
She is too young to understand what weâÂÂre doing but she adores it anyway!

Bought for my nieces after my kids loved it so much.
I use this all the time with my kids, it is a lovely part of our morning routine and as kids grow, they are able to fill out the calendar more independently. Just lovely.

Well done
Great teaching calendar. Only issue as previously mentioned was that the plastic cannot be removed from the back of the magnets.
