I love this idea! So fun and easy to make with your kids and it’s all about them. My mom always taped pictures of us on calendars to remind us of the fun we had to look forward to that month. Now it’s super easy to make calendars at home and they look good enough to give as gifts to proud grandparents and extended family members. Best of all, it’s free!

Where to Begin:

Select twelve of your favorite photos from each season with your kids (ie: August = family photo from the beach) and download them into http://www.freephotocalendar.net/free-printable-photo-calendar.php. Follow the simple instructions on the site, print out the pages and connect the pages with brads found at any craft or drug store.

Another great idea, buy a few different types of stickers so your kids can mark special days on their calendar. What child wouldn’t love having their very own calendar to keep in their room as a reminder of the fun that’s to come?
