Make Your Own Calendar 2007
Illustrated by Steve Haskamp
This calendar offers kids stickers, coloring pages, and big spaces to draw their own picture to represent each month.
Drawing, coloring, and stickers - what more could a kid want? My six-year-old daughter was delighted when we tore
open the plastic to begin "making her own" calendar. She loved the stickers but was a bit disgruntled that some days
had more than one sticker that could be used to mark it - and there was only space for one. Plus, once you add a
sticker to a box, the box is full, effectively meaning you cannot make notes of those important things that might
pop up like appointments or lessons. Also, the stickers are a loose sheet that are likely to be lost long before
you get them all stuck on, especially since some are meant to be stuck on AFTER events like "go to
playground" and "met a new friend" and "worst day at school" (we are using two big paperclips to hold them to the
last page of the calendar, but I’m dubious about how long that will last.) The drawing spot was well received until
I told my daughter you had to use crayons, not markers (markers will bleed through the pages), but for kids who
love to color (there are lively drawings around each page to be colored) and draw with crayons - this calendar
offers hours of entertainment. |
