How about making your very own calendar using coloring pages? All you need are calendar coloring sheets and colored pencils.

Pick the designs you like and color them with your favorite hues.

Even though it’s coloring, it engages your brain’s orientation and executive functions—like keeping track of weekdays including weekends and holidays, deciding which colors to use, and staying within the lines—so it can be an effective brain-training activity.

You can also add important dates like birthdays and anniversaries to turn it into your personal planner.

Give it a try!

Morning glories are the quintessential flower of July, aren’t they? Seeing their vines climb high and bloom might evoke a sense of summer for many older adults.

Here’s a calendar inspired by morning glories.

Cut origami paper into morning glory shapes and paste them onto the calendar.
