It seems that kids spend their entire childhood looking forward to going somewhere, whether it is a trip to Disneyland, an upcoming a play date, or a doctor’s appointment. Many young kids love having things to do and places to go, and could make good use of their own free, printable calendar this Christmas. Just think about the last time you went to Wal-Mart. Was your youngster content to sit at home, or did she beg you to take her along? Or perhaps your son knows he’s going to visit a friend in a few days. Does he constantly bug you about whether or not it’s time to leave? While young kids may not be old enough to read or write, they can count. A free, printable calendar is a great way to mark their important dates, show them how to count down each day and hopefully provide you with a reprieve from having to keep them up-to-date on the status of upcoming events.
