Product Description
Editorial Review
This magnetic calendar is undated, so it can be reused month after month, year after year. Use the month magnets to identify the month, and then stick the magnetic numbers on the appropriate days of the week. Hinged panels fold out for hanging--the top half is a calendar, the bottom half is a blank white magnetic surface for storing month and year magnets and the colorfully illustrated "reminder" pieces. There's one for every occasion you can think of, so you'll never miss an important date or activity--Test Day, Mother's Day, Canada Day, Kwanzaa, Go To Dentist, and so on. Consisting of 139 pieces, the calendar measures 15.5 by 23 inches unfolded. --Alison Golder

Great for teaching young children to use a calendar,

This review is from: Magnetic Calendar (Toy)
My recently turned 5 year old has begun asking about days, weeks, "how many days until X" type of questions. We are homeschooling so no other person or school had yet introduced the teaching of days, months, etc. to him. Seeing he was curious and ready to learn, I quickly purchased this calendar to use as a perpetual calendar to help teach him the concepts. He loves the calendar.It is more fun than a paper calendar because it has the magnets with the activity notations on them. If you are looking for a consumable version you could just use paper and buy stickers. I prefer this magnetic version. It is more functional than a wooden perpetual calendar that uses blocks for the dates because it allows customization of activities, holidays and events that take place on that day. I give the manufacturer credit for coming up with many creative ideas for the activities. There are Christian and Jewish religious holiday magnets. There are American federal holidays such as Veteran's Day and the big kid holidays like Halloween. There is one for Canada Day and one for Victoria Day. There is one for Cinqo De Mayo. There are activity holidays such as the popular sports for young kids, dance, soccer, martial arts, etc. There are school related magnets such as "school play", etc. If you take the extras that don't apply to your family, you can customize them by writing on paper and gluing it on top of the magnets you don't think you'll ever use. There are magnets for the years 2002 through 2007 and season and month magnets. It would not be a big deal to continue to use it beyond those years and simply omit the year magnet. To make more room to select the magnets on the extra magnet board side, I took away all the magnets that we would never use for our family such as sports my child does not play. I also took away the future year magnets for fear of them being lost. I put them away for future use. I hope in the future the manufacturer makes a supplemental kit for us to custom design our own magnets, perhaps by giving us loads of pre-printed stickers with a smaller number of magnets and allowing us to choose which apply to our family. This kit could also be used to replace any that may have become lost over time. Some blank stickers in the proper shape to fit the magnets could be for us to truly make unique magnets for our family. I'd like to have "vacation start" and "vacation end" rather than just one "vacation". The cons: this is quite heavy so make sure you use the proper hanging hook and anchor it well. The pieces are choking size, so it must be hung high enough so children under age 3 cannot reach it (including guests and visitors). Placing it that high does not allow for eye-level viewing by a five-year old. I would have preferred the folding go in the reverse manner, that is, when not being hung it would fold inward so the magnets are protected inside it rather than having them on the outside because as it is moved, the magnets fall off. If it folded inward we could keep it folded up and open it to use it and then put it away again, if we didn't want to hang it on the wall. Another idea would be that I could hang it low for our family but when I have babies and toddlers visiting I could quickly put it away while they are visiting. Lastly, the size of the day-grid cubes for each day are too small to fit both the date magnet and 2 other activity or holiday magnets. I think it should have been designed slightly bigger so that 2 magnets easily fit on the grid. Despite my complaints I am giving this a high rating. It is a one-of-a-kind product so there are presently no brand alternatives. Lights, Camera, Interaction makes high quality durable and educational products and this one fits that bill. The good things about this calendar outweigh my complaints!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Love this company!,
By LCI Fan (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Magnetic Calendar (Toy)
I purchased this calendar for both of my girls (7 and 4). Like others, they both love this calendar and we update them together each month. The comment that I wanted to add was that soon after purchasing calendar #2, our dog chewed up several of the numbers. I attempted to repair the mangled numbers without luck. I resigned myself to the fact that daughter #2 would just have to do without numbers 28 and 14. When hanging the calendar up the other day, I noticed a toll-free number on the back for the company. When I called I found out that you can receive an complete set of all the magnets (numbers, months and holidays) for $5 an they'd ship them for free. They also included the most updated years through 2010! What a great company.

great for old "kids" too,

= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Magnetic Calendar (Toy)
This item is the product I've been looking for. My "kid" can't remember from 12:00 till the whistle blows. If you understand that analogy you'll know why this pictoral board calendar is so nice. My Dad's caretakers can update it daily and it's easy to make customized magnets to note family birthdays, weather conditions and any other personalized items of note. I wouldn't say in this usage it has a lot of "fun" value but it sure does make answering the repeated questions a lot less tiresome. The item is very durable. I'd only note the small pieces that a little one could chew on and even swallow. But it's not intended for tiny tots to have personal interaction with and does include a not for under 3 warning. Over all I'm very happy with it
