I used a calendar pocket chart purchased from a local teacher supply store. The calendar pieces fit perfectly in the pockets with a little room to spare. I also used tape to hang my word problems on the mat (but you could also use velcro).

***The setup of this calendar set will take lots of printing, cutting, and laminating. It will also require organizing the different sets of calendar pieces and word problems. Once you go through this process, the daily use of the set will be easy, fun, and extremely helpful for your kiddos!

The price of this product is set based on the paper, ink, lamination and work you'll have to put into it after purchasing.

I hope this set can help motivate your kids during calendar time! I also hope it provides meaningful and engaging activities that will help them master many crucial life-long skills!
