Hello Friends,
As we all prepare for christmas and New Year it is a great time to teach children about calendars and how they work. In a previous article I covered wall calendar making as a learning project. Here I refer to the making of stand-alone desk top calendars--perpetual calendars.
Perpetual calendars can be used year after year and can be decorated with a theme in mind that appeals to the person who will be using it. The students choose a theme, colors, quotations and /or Bible verses, plus pictures, drawings, or stickers to decorate the calendar's flip over pages. Instructions for making a stand and assembling the pages are included.
Children should find this an interesting project, as it allows plenty of room for creative thinking--an artsy child will especially like the challenge. If the project is too long for a child, a group of children could consider making one together with each child asigned certain days.
I hope you enjoy this article: What is a perpetual Calendar?
