​When it's this cold outside I like to curl up with the kids and get crafty and with the start of the new year why not have them create their very own calendar. 
I was inspired by Pretties For Pennies’ beautiful version of a DIY dry erase calendar using paint chip samples. With no paint chip samples on hand, we cut up pieces of construction paper instead. You can really use whatever you like so get creative!​

Here’s what you’ll need for our construction paper version:
 
-Frame, with inside glass and tabs on back
-Mat board (these can be bought from your local frame shop) or thick board, sized to fit inside the frame
-Construction paper, color of choice
-Scissors
-Glue stick

  1. Cut 35 squares out of the construction paper to form 7 rows of 5 squares for the days and weeks in each month. The size of the squares will depend on how big your frame is. We stacked the paper to reduce cut time and then eyeballed how big the squares should be. We also cut 7 small rectangles to top the rows to label the days of the week.

    NOTE: Because I wanted the kids involved, little hands cut our squares so the sizes and edges are not as even as they could be. Feel free to use a ruler and adult precision!

  2. Place the rectangles at the start of your 7 rows then arrange 5 squares under each rectangle on your mat board. When you’re happy with the way they look, glue them down.

  3. Flip your frame so that it’s face down on your worktable and ensure that your glass is clean. Place your mat board with glued squares face down on the glass of your frame.

  4. Press the frame tabs down snugly over your mat board to secure it in place. Flip the frame and admire your handiwork!

  5. Now for the finishing touches. Grab a dry erase marker and over the glass, write the name of each day of the week on the rectangles, starting with Sunday and finishing with Saturday. Write the numerical days on each square according to the month. Then add in any important reminders for your little ones throughout the month.

At the end of the month, wipe everything clean and fill in your calendar again! This easy calendar looks amazing, teaches your little ones about scheduling and managing their time, helps them learn the days of the week and months and can be used over and over again. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
