I was tossing out last year’s calendar when I saw the pretty flowers. I knew Sophie would love it and I was right! The $1 calendar became a one hour craft time I had with Sophie and then another one hour that Sophie and Grace crafted together! For a preschooler, this was a great opportunity to practice cutting with scissors, gluing, and organizing her pictures. Now I need more cheap calendars! (My pictures are horrible this week but it was really hard to get good pictures of these!!)
Let us know where your Wordless Wednesday is so we can come visit!
What do you do with your old calendars? Leave us a comment and let us know!

That was such a good idea for a cheap craft… well free since you’ve had the calender for a year! I’ll have to remember that when tossing calenders!

Great idea! My daughter used to love to ‘cut and paste’! We kept an old piano bench stocked full of old seed & plant catalogs, mailings, and magazines just for her to use. She made some gorgeous collages when she was young!
