Calendars are on sale right now and the possibilities are endless! A few things that we've tried are:
*Cut one month of days apart and have your child match and glue the numbered squares. (pictured above)
*Cut several of the small pictures out from the back and write a story about them. Glue them into a book with your story.
*Cut the small pictures out from the back and match the small pictures to the large pictures.

If you are just using the numbers portion you could print a calendar from online.
ReplyDeleteWe made a file folder puzzle from calendars and cards! http://livelearnlove226.blogspot.com/2009/07/file-folder-puzzle.html My daughter is now 4 and still likes to do it.
My son would love this activity... matching is a fave of his!
