We made our calendars today using assorted shiny papers, feathers, sequins etc and our trusty laminator.

They look fab :thumbsup: Did the children glue the items or were they just 'dropped in' ?

The children just put things in where they wanted them (mainly sprinkling for the glitter and sequins). One 3yr old child lined all the squares of shiny paper up but the static on the laminating sheets moved things around a bit. After trying to get the first one from the table to the laminator I realised I needed a sheet of card under them to give a bit of rigidity to make the transfer easier. I then slid them off the card gradually as the laminator drew it through.
I stole the idea from an ex-mindee :thumbsup: . She came with her mum (to collect her baby sister) straight from an after school club where they had done more or less the same thing but to make hanging window decorations (hers had different coloured cellophanes in too, which I didn't have)

Where do you get the actual calendars from? I want to make calendars with my mindees but not sure where to get them from. Will only need about 4 so do not want to buy packs of 100 or anything!

You can usually buy them in places like Card Warehouse, Clinton Cards etc I think they are around 20p (but I acquired the spare ones left over when all the children at preschool had made their calendars.....well they'd have only gone in the bin come January!)

They sound fab but I can't look at them - don't think I have enough posts yet.

they're lovely - think I might have to re-home my Dad's laminator that he doesn't really use that much I'm sure!!! ;)
