 Good overall, but some flaws Dec 29, 2009
By CMD
This calendar/weather chart seems durable and made of good quality. It is very large. I like it for the most part, but I have a few issues with it. 1) If you have a month that is 31 days long and begins on a Friday or Saturday (like January 2010), there are not enough spaces to put the 31st day of the month. I had to put it up at the top of the calendar. This may not occur very often, but it is slightly annoying. 2) The pockets which are used to house all the extra cards are not big/deep enough. They do not close with all the cards in them. There are many many many cards with this calendar - every sort of month/day/year/weather/season/holiday/event - which is great, but the calendar is not really made to hold them well, when not in use. Also, I wish there were more (bigger) pockets, so I could divide the cards into groups. Right now, I have all the month/year/day cards together, all of the event/holiday cards together, and all of the blank/season/weather cards together.

 Terrific Resource Dec 18, 2008
By Andrea
I'm a homeschooling mom with young children and I love this calendar. It is quite large and extremely sturdy. It incorporates all the learning skills (days of the week, months of the year, weather, holidays, seasons) I'm teaching my little ones. This calendar is a great investment that will be used for many years to come!

By Heather Mckenzie
"Kinder Teach"
I am a kindergarten teacher and this calenday is absolutely wonderful. It comes with all of the calendar items you would need and the numbers are two sided black and red for easy patterning. I would highly reccomend.

 Just what we needed Mar 15, 2010
By momof4
This seems to have pretty much everything we needed to learn / teach about the calendar, months of the year, days of the week, yesterday, today, tomorrow, weather... it's got a lot. I like the fact it has blank cards so we can add special days of our own like grandparents day, friendship day, arbor day. We don't actually celebrate these but who knows, maybe we will at some point. :) I like that the numbers for days are double-sided with red and black. I put the days that have already passed on black and the current day as well as those coming up in red so they can get a better visual.
Some things I found were that since there are a lot (!) of cards to be stored when they're not in use the pockets at the bottom aren't really big enough to hold everything inside. My solution was to turn most of the longer cards on their sides and just left them vertical. No biggie for me but that might bother someone who has to have everything out of sight if it's not being utilized. Another thing I did was to separate the school cards (100th day, 1st day, "no school" days,) the holidays, & the cards for other things like birthdays (cakes or balloons & hats) and flags for federal holidays. I put them into 3 separate sandwich bags so they wouldn't get mixed up together and then just put them in the yellow bags at the bottom of the calendar.
One thing I noticed was I had to throw out several year cards. I got rid of 2006, 2007, 2008, & 2009 with one swift toss into the recycling bin. Time sure flies sometimes. Maybe it would have been better to have 4 slots available to insert for the year instead of just one card, but I wasn't on the team for product development. There are still 4 or 5 years left to go before they run out too. But honestly my only real gripe about this product is that it doesn't include any hardware to hang it up. I managed with screws through the holes at the top though.
The material seems very durable and should stand up to my 4 quite well. Overall this is a great investment (and fun too.)

 Size listed is incorrect! Dec 16, 2009
By Suzie
The website says size is 15 x 13 and actual size is 30 x 45! This will not fit where I intended and not even on a standard door. It does look like a great product perhaps for classroom use, but for home use, it is too large.
