Perfect for children's early learning! Handmade tear-off daily calendar ideas

9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

It can be hard to explain invisible concepts like “today” and “tomorrow” to children, can’t it?

Why not try introducing an educational calendar when your child starts asking questions like “What’s today’s date?”

An educational calendar not only helps children develop a sense of dates and days of the week, but also sparks interest in events and holidays, and deepens their understanding of numbers and letters—supporting growth in many ways.

In this article, we’ll share some DIY ideas for educational calendars.

From designs featuring characters and vehicles that kids love to clever mechanisms that make them want to check the calendar every day, we’ve gathered plenty of ideas for educational calendars that make learning fun.

Give them a try!

Dice Calendar

How to Make a Dice Calendar [DIY] / How to / DCM Channel

Here’s an idea for a dice-style wooden calendar that lets you feel the warmth of wood.

This DIY project uses cube-shaped and board-shaped pieces of wood to make a perpetual calendar.

Write the dates and other markings on the dice using water-based paint.

The board piece is cut and finished into a frame.

Since knives and cutting tools are involved, staff should provide support as needed.

A tip: sand the wood in advance.

It will make the surface smoother and give the finish a nicer color and sheen.

In conclusion

We introduced various ideas for educational calendars.

Through a calendar, children can learn not only dates but also days of the week, the weather, and the day’s plans—there’s so much they can absorb depending on how you design it.

Try creating one tailored to your child’s developmental stage.

We hope that checking the calendar becomes one of the exciting and enjoyable daily habits for your children.
