It's up to me to keep my kids' schedules straight, but they still love to count down the days until the next big event, whether that day is a Saturday, their birthday, or the next candy holiday (Valentine's Day, for the record).
Instead of giving them that freebie calendar I got from the bank, I've got my eye these three kid-friendly versions, each full of animal critters that would look great in their rooms every day of 2011. I love the bright colors and wild-animal silhouettes on Printable Project's Animal Calendar (at top)---I'd frame the illustrations to hang long after the year has passed. Super economical too, since I can print the cards from home and even reprint them if someone gets over-enthusiastic with the pen when marking off their birthday.
If there's a squirrel in my daughters' bedroom it had better be from Fall Down Tree's super-adorable Woodland Friends Calendar. With the wide-eyed cuteness we featured before (see it here) Adam Record's distinctive critters even appeal to my stuffed-animal-loving tween. And I can thank goodness that I've dodged the Bieber calendar for another year.
I know 2011 is going to fly by a little too quickly, which is why I think having all the months on one sheet, as in this bright 2011 animal calendar by London's Indira Albert, is pretty smart. The colors and quirkiness of the animals chosen---love the dinosaur next to the ducks---fits in perfectly with my oddball crew too. Christina
