Calendars are on sale right now and the possibilities are endless! A few things that we’ve tried are:
*Cut one month of days apart and have your child match and glue the numbered squares. (pictured above)
*Cut several of the small pictures out from the back and write a story about them. Glue them into a book with your story.
*Cut the small pictures out from the back and match the small pictures to the large pictures.
