4.0 out of 5 stars Needs to be Laminated (Pricey!), January 8, 2010

This has been a good set to use with my son's preschool coop. However, it needs to be laminated to be durable. I put the calendar on a foam core backing and even that is showing signs of "love." If I were to look for a large scale, educational calendar again. I wouldn't buy this one again. I would pay for the more expensive canvas wall calendars used by many preschools. This one would be great for a bulletin board, but its not very good for encouraging child to manipulate the pieces.

This review is from: Trend Bulletin Board Set - Year Round Calendar (Toy)

I purchased this product to use with my k and 2nd grader. They both enjoy it as visual tool for learning days, weeks, months, seasons and basic weather types.

All the significant holidays are included (including Kwanzaa, election day, and season beginnings). There are several Birthday, No School, Special Days and Field Trip triangles, each with a cartoon type drawing appropriate for the holiday or event. These triangles may be attached to the date of the specific holiday by slipping them into the provided slots on each square. I cannot rate the ease of use of the slots because I chose to have the calendar laminated (It comes with a light coating, but I knew it would get a lot of use and it wasn't expense to have done; whole set for under $6) and used velcro to adhere the dates and double stick tape for the holidays. The months are color-coded by seasons which correspond to the seasons for the season/weather wheel chart.

My kids enjoy using the wheel to show the daily change in weather, then record the data on the Weather graph. I also like the day of the week chart which provides spaces for yesterday and tomorrow. It gives my students additional practice remembering the order of days. In addition I have used the calendar to reinforce counting (k student will put up the dates in numerical order) and to keep visual track of special events (field trips, relatives visiting, etc).

The only problem I might have with the product would be the small arrows used on the weather wheel. If I had not had it laminated they might have broken after repeated use.

Overall, wonderful product!

This calendar bulletin board set is great! It is not too large so it can be centered on a bulletin board space and the other items in the kit such as the weather graphing chart, weather wheel, and the Today is... will fit nicely around the calendar. Great for homeschool because it fits nicely on a standard (bedroom) door.
