Uses for Old Calendars
Calendars.com is having a huge up-to-75% off sale on their 2012 calendars. Who needs a calendar when the year is about half over, you might ask?
Well, those of you doing unit studies might like to find a calendar for about $4-6 that is full of large photos entirely on topics your children love. Use them for art projects and science boards and such. Just click on “Categories” and look for subjects of interest.
Those of you who like to organize all activities will probably like one of their “Mom’s Organizer” calendars to track where everyone is going.
If you have to keep attendance records, any old calendar will do for the fall. Why not get one you’d like to look at anyway?
I like the “Large Print 2012 Pocket Planner.” Cost $0.74 and Goes from August on through 2013. Perfect for keeping homeschool and family plans where everyone can see what’s going on. Has pockets for adding flyers and invitations and maps. I know, I use an electronic calendar. But I like these pocket calendars when I must keep things straight such as tickets and other papers needed for an activity.
There’s an Historic Maps weekly journal with maps of old towns, I assume 52 of them. There are calendars with photos from the Civil War. All for about $4-5.
Search on your city or state name, and with any luck, you’ll find a calendar with great ideas for field trips. Add the word “travel” to find interesting destinations. Taking a vacation to another state this summer? Get a calendar for use on your trip!
Got a boy who likes trucks, the bigger the better? CAT has calendars there!
Have fun with this!
