Why Use Calendars for Kids

Printable calendars for kids are a great way to keep track of your homeschool and for kids to use. Printable calendar pages in a visible and accessible place are a great encourager for kids in the home.

As an early education teacher (decades ago) I do know that students thrive in order. That doesn’t even sound right but it is true. Children are able to be free and creative when they know their parameters and work within the structure.­­

Calendars help students provide kids with a framework to help their day flow smoothly. They can record important dates and events.

How To Use Printable Calendars with Kids

  • Allow your student enough choices and different styles. A calendar template to suit your child’s needs and style is extremely effective.
  • Keep the calendar simple. Don’t overload your calendars or overwhelm your kids with too much. That isn’t the point.
  • Maximize the math opportunities from the calendar. Ask questions like how many days it until a future event, or how many days age a special date occurred.
  • Use the calendar to go over the daily weather.
  • Be sure to mention the season each month is in.

Use the calendars to keep some type of order in your home and in your lessons.

For instance, calendars can be used in order to teach kids to be more independent with their work and routines. Here are a few ways to use calendars in your homeschool and home.
