12 Month Play Calendar to Print
We thought it would be fun to make a calendar that has room for 365 days of play…no matter when you start! With 500 activities in The Big Book of Kids Activities, you could literally do one every single day for the entire year…and still have 135 activities left over!
Or you could sneak those 135 activities into your year of play.

To get you started, if you book hasn’t arrived yet…here are a few of the craft ideas similar to what you will find inside the MASSIVE book (although crafts aren’t all you will find inside!):
- Looking for a simple craft? Let’s make paper bag puppets!
- Or let’s upcycle those empty toilet paper & paper towel rolls into a toilet paper roll train.
- One of my favorite easy crafts is to make owls out of cupcake liners!
- Or what about making barnyard animals out of cups? We have the instructions to make a cow, pig and chick out of cups!
- What fun to make popsicle stick caterpillars!
- Let’s craft a paper plate fish bowl.
- Let’s make a calm down bottle perfect for bedtime.
- How colorful is this easy craft? Together let’s make a whole bunch of butterfly suncatchers for the window.
