I created a calendar for the boys to learn the days and months and to plan out some of our activities, a family planner, so to speak. I love how it looks, but it’s not quite right for teaching the boys all the days/months/numbers in English and Hawaiian, so this baby was born.
I created an 8.5×11 template in CS4 and added guides so the month and day blocks would be 4×4. I included the numeral, printed and cursive in English and finally in Hawaiian.
I created sheets for each month/day of the week. I trimmed 1/4″ off each of the long sides, 1/2″ off the top then 2 1/2″ off the bottom. Then cut the remaining piece into 4×4 pieces.
the number/year pieces were designed to be 2×4 so when I placed a month, day, date, year it would be 12″ and fit perfectly on a 12″ chipboard base.
after trimming all the pieces, I stacked them up and punched with the bind it all and put it all together…
The boys are now learning the date in English and Hawaiian, and I couldn’t be happier! :)
