Assembling and customising your DIY Calendar Template

Please note: you don’t HAVE to make your calendar all in one go… you can start off with January/ February and March and then add to it as they ear progresses!

PRINT Your Free Cute Printable Calendar

Yes it really is quite straightforward to use your DIY Calendar Templates.. simply print off a set of these calendars…… enough for each child to make at least one!

Choose between the two versions – either the calendar starting on a Sunday to Saturday.. or a Monday to Sunday!

NUMBERING to turn it into a Calender 2020

WARNING: PLEASE SENSE CHECK the numbers and dates as you go along.. or do this with/ for your kids **just in case** and BEFORE spending ages colouring!!

Begin by adding your number.

The 1.  January 2020 starts on a WEDNESAY

So add a 1 into the WEDNESDAY box.. then number through to 31. Make “special dates” such a family birthday’s stand out with 3D numbers or bubble numbers.

Remember which weekday you finish on (in this case it is Friday 31 st January 2020) and then when starting the next Month, move to that DAY of the week – ie the 1st February 2020 will fall on a Sartuday.

In some months, you will have to put the last day back at the top of the page.. eg. in April 2018 if you do the Mon-Sun calendar.. the 30th April will go in the top left hand corner..

Use the “knuckle method” to remember which days have 31 days and which 30. Happy Hooligans has a great article on it for you to read. I still use this method as an adult. And remember February only has 28 days.. unless it is a leap year (the next leap year is 2020 and after that in 2024).

Remember to have FUN with your numbering.. use a combination of “normal” numbers and DOODLE numbers..

Time to GET ARTY

Now the numbering has been completed, it is time to get arty!! Our DIY Calender Template is “pre designed” to give you easy drawing and art prompts to complete. So no one will be “worried” about where to start their drawing and coloring – with plenty of opportunities to also let your creativity shine!

We love adding little details to the “crossed out boxes” – a lady bird in spring.. a snowflake in January…

Binding your Cute Printable Calendar 2020

Now bring all your 12 sheets together.

Hole punch them at the top.

And run a ribbon through for hanging!!!!

When flipping the pages over to the next page.. just poke the top of the ribbon between the “Old Page and the “New One” and it will still hang easily!!

Well done! You have now completed your Cute Calendar for 2020!!! You can be proud of yourself.

Remember these also make great Christmas Gifts for relatives!
