    Using a Calendar During Circle Time

    Where can I buy a nice calendar for the kids to use? I purchased a set of calendar numbers and a calendar at a dollar store and laminated all the numbers. My intention was to put velcro circles on the back of them and have them already on the calendar, but the calendar isn't very pretty and its just paper so I imagine it will rip easily....it's also too costly to laminate. Any websites or ideas where I can use my 2.5 inch square numbers on for a calendar?

    Try this: http://www.trendenterprises.com/home.cfm You can search for laminated calendars and you will see large wall hanging size laminated calendars for I think under $10. I had some trouble finding them in the products section but just search around or call and request a catalog. They have a super nice collection of classroom supplies, stickers, charts and other cool things at a good price. (LOL!! I sound like a commercial for them. :

          I have had my eye on this since I opened. The price is just a little too rich for my blood though.

              I have this calendar - http://www.trendenterprises.com/Prod...etin+Board+Set

              I use different themed calendar pieces and they are velcro'd to the calendar and then to the piece. Mine hasn't ripped and it's been almost a year.
