Description
This wooden, magnetic Melissa & Doug calendar is a fun, interactive tool to teach calendar concepts. The calendar consists of two wooden, 15 ½" x 11 ½" boards that are joined vertically by nylon straps. The top board is the calendar itself, with the heading "My Daily Calendar." It has colorful labeled spaces for the month, date, year, season, weather and more. Kids will enjoy selecting from among 82 painted wooden magnets to place in each space (they change every day!) Other unique features include a color-coded thermometer (use the arrow magnet to select a range from freezing to hot) and an "I Feel" space (choose from four yellow "smiley faces" to match your mood). The calendar teaches days of the week with the "Yesterday Was/Today Is/Tomorrow Will Be" spaces. There are also activity and holiday magnets, each with its own symbolic illustration. The unused magnets for the day store conveniently on the calendar's bottom board. Calendar includes a nylon loop for easy wall-hanging. ~ Lisa
Publisher's Description of My Magnetic Daily Calendar

What is today? For a child, that simple question can have so many answers--and this daily calendar helps satisfy them all! Kids will feel a greater sense of control and responsibility when they help post the day of the week, date, weather, and special events on the large magnetic board for all to see. There's even a space to post their mood--an excellent way to open communication and encourage children to gauge their own emotions. Updating the information is simple: Simply take a preprinted magnet from the lower magnetic board (which hangs below the calendar to keep magnets within easy reach). Then place it on the calendar to fill in the information . . . or make a custom magnet by writing on one of two dry-erase magnet tiles! There are fields for day, date, season, weather, temperature, activities, holiday, and mood.
