A Simple Way to Boost Calendar Skills and More
Over the years, my boys and I have used so many different calendars in our homeschool and family life. I’m a big believer in using calendars as simple tools for learning and planning. For example, our Fun Days Calendar helps us with reminders of special celebrations throughout the year.
But, I also like to give my boys their own calendars to use. It’s such a cool way for them to practice planning and time management in a relaxed way. There’s something special about seeing them take ownership and learning how to plan.
This 2026 Coloring Calendar for Kids gives each of them a chance to make it theirs. Although the pictures are the same, they find unique ways to decorate and color. They’re so clever with backgrounds, patterns, and personal touches that make me smile.
This 2026 calendar set is a printer-friendly way to get your kids excited about the year!
