Made with construction paper, glue, and stickers - our calendar is very basic and simple. On each slip of paper there is a number and an assigned activity for the day. When the day is over and the activities are complete, the piece of paper is removed and thrown away.
When there is only one piece of paper left, it is Christmas day! I am so excited about some of our daily activities. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas at our house :)
