Family Calendar

Today, I wanted to show you a fun idea for the version of the Family Message Board that we've talked about before. This is my daughter's family calendar:

Her boys are still quite young (six, four and two) and so a full-on headquarters board isn't needed yet. But this calendar is perfect for them. She used a regular 20x28 picture frame and on the back of the glass, drew the lines for the calendar with permanent marker. She used vinyl lettering for the days.

Each month she draws in the numbers with white board markers and uses simple pictures to help her boys know what is happening. She erases the days past so they know what day it is and how many days until they go to the zoo, or it's Dad's birthday.

It's fun to ask the boys because they know when t-ball practice is, when it's Sunday (indicated by a tie) and when they're coming to my house for a splash party! Great way to keep the family organized!
