Well, it's Christmas eve and Uncle Henry just called to say he's stopping by with gifts for the kids (and you've nothing for him!) Here's a last minute gift idea that your kids can make:
Family Calendar
With digital photos and/or your child's drawings, you can make a calendar that will please the recipient all year long.
Materials needed:
24 pieces of 8 1/2" by 11" colored paper or card stock
A drawing or photo to illustrate each month
Printable calendar pages from Microsoft Word or a specialized calendar software program. You can also find free downloadable calendar templates online. Try Time and Date.com or Free printable calendar templates from About.com.
a hole punch
colored yarn
glue stick
ruler
Directions:
Select a favorite photo or drawing to illustrate each month.
Have your child glue the drawing or photo on to the colored paper or card stock
Mount the calendar page for each month on to a piece of colored paper or card stock
For each month, you can highlight important family dates, such as birthdays and anniversaries, as well as holidays.
With a ruler, measure two inches from each edge at the top of the paper and mark with your pencil.
With a hole punch, make two holes, each one at the two inch mark, as described above.
With the yarn, tie your calendar pages together.
