I am SO sorry for taking so long to get these calendars for you all! I have to admit, I was a little overwhelmed with all the emails and comments looking for the 2013 Calendars. I planned on doing it earlier this summer, but I haven't had much of a break yet. Then I realized I didn't have Microsoft Publisher on my computer anymore (my favorite calendar making program). But thanks to Thinking Mama I found this site and whipped them up for you!

I print the poems on 2x4 labels. Much easier to assemble and they look a lot cleaner. :)
An anonymous blogger said: "We do a Kissing Hand unit, we paint the child's hand and put a heart shaped sticker in the palm. It comes out perfect with a heart right in the center. Just an added idea for the Valentine page."
Enjoy!
What an adorable idea! Thanks for sharing the poems and calendar! What part of the hand did you use to make the snowman body, caterpillar etc?
ReplyDeleteI used the palm of their hands for both of those, and the shamrock. :)
ReplyDeletethis is so amazing. do you make these in the first couple of months and send home at holiday time for a gift?
ReplyDeleteLove this calendar! I'm giving you the One Lovely Blog Award! Stop on over at my blog, freefallinintofirst.blogspot.com to pick up you award :)
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, so I'm giving you the One Lovely Blog Award! Can't remember if I sent this already, so I wanted to be sure of it. :) Stop by my blog Freefallinintofirst.blogspot.com to grab your award! -Ashley
ReplyDeleteI just saw this up on pinterest. You are a genius! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I usually start making them in October. That gives me enough time to get them altogether. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat is the font that you use?
ReplyDeleteIt's DJ Groovey from DJ Inkers.
ReplyDeleteHow do you bind the calendars? Do you have any tips for mommy's at home making things like this for grandparents? thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy school has a binding machine that I used, but when I ran out of binding combs with only ONE calendar left to make {I wasn't about to go buy a whole box for just one} I took it to a local copy place and they bound it for me. I know staples does binding as well, and if you aren't making a class size, it should be too expensive. :)
ReplyDeleteDo you do the paintings on card stock and then just glue a sheet of white paper with the calendar on it for the other side? Thanks for this cute idea! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this! Im doing with my preschooler for grandparents Christmas presents! Do u just glue the white calendar pages to the back of the colored construction paper to make the book??
ReplyDeleteMy first year I tried gluing/taping the pages together. That was way too much work. Now I just leave them unconnected. I figured the calendar is usually pinned open, so it isn't a big deal if they aren't glued together. Double sided tape and scrapbook photo tape worked the best though. If you only have one or two to make, it wouldn't be too bad. :)
ReplyDeleteI know someone asked this but I didn't understand the answer. In order to flip the page so the picture is at the top doesn't it have to be on the back side of the calendar page. If so how is the calendar attached when using colored card stock??
ReplyDeleteI've done these - I pre-copy the calendars on white card stock, back to front so that they hang like real calendars would. Then, I have the kids stamp their hands right on the page. No cutting and gluing, but all pages are white.
ReplyDeleteWhat size paper/card do you use? (This idea is great, by the way - planning to make it with my 4 for their grandparents for Christmas! Thank you for sharing it!)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this!!! I am planning on making this for grandparent Christmas gifts. Is there a way I can edit the calendars to add family birthdays?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing!!!
Hi, do you have the calendar pages in a word document form so that I can type in birthdays/anniversaries, etc? Thanks for responding :)
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of paper did you use
ReplyDeletei have typed a ton of questions twice but it doesnt show this is my last try
ReplyDeleteI use 8 ½ by 11 cardstock.
ReplyDeleteEmail me and I will send a word document of the calendars. janaevanorman@gmail.com
So you use the 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock for all of the calendar pages?
ReplyDeleteDid you use 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock for the whole calendar?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have the word document for the calendars that you could email me? amynh49@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteHi!!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea and am planning on doing it with my grouo of 2 year olds as a christmas present present. However i live in canada so the november and july poems wouldn't work. Any suggestions of what else i can do?
On what page did you glue the calendars on? Did you use a new piece or the back of the other pieces?
ReplyDeleteIt is not my first time to pay a quick visit this site, i am visiting
ReplyDeletethis site dailly and obtain good information from here
all the time.
Have a look at my page how to download movies
Is there a way to print off each month's handprint shape as a pattern? luv luv luv your idea - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI am having a hard time getting my labels to line up correctly when I print the poems. Any suggestions? I am using Avery shipping labels size 2 x 4 and they aren't lining up. :(
ReplyDeleteThank you, I have just been searching for information about
ReplyDeletethis topic for a long time and yours is the greatest I have came upon so far.
But, what concerning the conclusion? Are you sure about the source?
Here is my homepage http://elitecigarettestore.com
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something which I think I would never understand.
ReplyDeleteIt seems too complex and extremely broad for me.
I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
Here is my web blog piano lessons
What font did you use on your poems?
ReplyDeleteHow did you do the bite stars for the flag?

ReplyDeletechanged a couple poems, to provide some other ideas :) wanted to leave them here if anyone wanted to use it as well!
ReplyDeleteJan. Snowmen
Rolling, rolling on the ground
Make that snowman oh so round
Each is different it’s surely true.
Here’s one I made just for you.
Feb. My Valentine
A piece of your hearts you gave to me
to make me as special as I can be.
and now I give back, with love so true,
this heart I painted for you and you
Now you guys have a part of me
just as it was meant to be!
March. My Shamrock
I have a little shamrock.
For the best luck there can be.
But you really don’t need it cause,
You will always have me!
Apr. My Easter Bunny
I’m an Easter Bunny, watch me hop.
Here are my ears, see how they flop!
As I go by my eggs I drop.
Find them if you can until the egg hunt stops!
For July instead of the flag, i made fireworks with glitter paint and little splashes of red and blue on white paper,
Fireworks!
In the corner of the pretty night sky.
We wait for pretty fireworks to go by.
This night that stands for our country.
Oh how fantastic to be with our family.
Sept. Autumn Leaves
Autumn leaves are now falling,
they have turned from green to brown
We rake them up into a pile
Now watch me jump with a big smile!
Dec. My Christmas Tree
Pretty Christmas tree lights
Snow covering everything in whites
I’ve been good all year long
minus the few things I may have done wrong
But here's a gift to you from me
My very first handprint Christmas tree
thank you for the wonderful idea, i have toddlers, and we're making them for a christmas gift for the parents! we're also adding corner stickers so the calendars can be replaces with the next years so these calendar can be used over and over again!
