Magnetic calendar

     Instead of buying a paper calendar that lasts for only one year, why not make a calendar that you can reuse each year?

Materials:
*Printable magnetic sheets (3-4 sheets should be fine)
*Printer
*Scissors

Directions:
*On your computer, design at least 31 2”x2” squares (you may want to design additional squares for holidays, birthdays, etc.) that will form the basis of your calendar.  Overlay numbers on top of the images for the squares, labeling the squares from 1-31. 

*Design 7 days of the week headings that are slightly wider than your calendar squares.

*Design 12 month headings

*Print all of these images onto the printable magnetic sheets (it may be easiest to import all of the images into a word document and print from there)

*Arrange squares on your refrigerator or other magnetic surface.

  1. I tried eating a date, it was just chewy and not delicious. Otherwise it was a great project!

  2. Very cool! Much easier than the wooden perpetual calendar my sister gave me that I have to completely take apart every time I need to change the month!
