So Desmond had been trying to figure out what we do each day, and I figured a visual reminder would be useful. Thus came about my plan to make a weekly calendar. I used a variety of things to make it, first I used some color paper I had lying about, I also used various scrapbooking alphabet stickers I had, to make the words and labels needed. I used the computer to print out small activity cards for what we do on various days. I bought 2 big metal boards from IKEA to put up the calendar on. I also bought the bar and 3 small cups to put the various activity cards and date cards in. I also had a laminator to laminate the various pages and activity cards of the calender. I bought some magnetic tape from Amazon, and I had some velcro stick dots lying around that I used as well.

Here is the calendar coming together. First is Desmond hammering in a screw mount for a screw to hold up the metal boards.

Here is Desmond showing off the metal boards now they are up:

Here is the calendar, sorry about the glare:

Desmond and Eloise have enjoyed putting up the various activity even if they aren’t actually happening on that day. We’ll see how it goes now that it is up and all ready.
