calendars

We just start 'collecting' and interesting painting drawings as soon as we start back in September. For our new starters we always try and keep one of their first painting they do with us.

All calendars are different - and include printing, collage (if flat enough to go through laminator!) hand-prints, etc.

we take a photo of each child reading with some nice green/red fabric for a backdrop. we mount it on their choice of card then children decorate with jewels or sequins. lots of counting and shape language - corner/side etc. and children stick a calendar tab on and hole punch for ribbon/thread ribbon etc

sewing - piece of binca to fit A5, glittery threads, needles with large eyes. Let each child choose up to three colours and sew away - nothing as fancy as cross-stitch, just up through a hole and down through any other hole - we fit it in with maths - talking about length of stitch and direction - up/down.

Then stick onto card (double - sided tape works best) and add calendar tab and hanging ribbon. Parents like it, children enjoy it and it isn't too Christmassy so doesn't look odd in June.

However, having read entries above may well be in for a change this year!!

Ive done finger print animals & flowers before - they look quite nice and individual. Children make thumb & finger prints in paint then make them look like bees, butterflies, ladybirds, flowers. It is quite tricky and did need adult help but they are all different & use the children's ideas.

This year we are doing a photo with a frame for them to decorate however they choose - we will make lots of craft bits available.
