Wordless Wednesday: Calendar Art

January 4, 2012 By Beth 19 Comments

I was tossing out last year’s calendar when I saw the pretty flowers. I knew Sophie would love it and I was right! The $1 calendar became a one hour craft time I had with Sophie and then another one hour that Sophie and Grace crafted together! For a preschooler, this was a great opportunity to practice cutting with scissors, gluing, and organizing her pictures. Now I need more cheap calendars! (My pictures are horrible this week but it was really hard to get good pictures of these!!)

    That was such a good idea for a cheap craft… well free since you’ve had the calender for a year! I’ll have to remember that when tossing calenders!

    Great idea! My daughter used to love to ‘cut and paste’! We kept an old piano bench stocked full of old seed & plant catalogs, mailings, and magazines just for her to use. She made some gorgeous collages when she was young!
