We have had a lovely Christmas with lots of family over but the lack of routine and uncertainty of what comes next is starting to take its toll on my two. So I decided it was time to get myself sorted and get a Monthly schedule for January events up. I have done something like this before and it is NOT a timetable (we don’t follow a rigid timetable with our days but rather we have a rhythm of how our days go). This is for all those weekly or unusual activities that happen outside of the home or with other people.
I used the 2018 Calender from Activity Village (they have pages for both hemispheres so there is a winter themed January aswell as a summer themed January).
And I stuck to using pens for set events and pencil for uncertain ones.
Nothing fancy but I like the fact that the kids have something to refer back to which shows what is going to happen for the upcoming month.
And I really like getting all out onto one page. I actually think I might print a second copy of the calendar page for my own mini planning (or I should say more like an idea page of what I am thinking of covering in the upcoming month).

is actually great. My youngest LOVES it (my oldest also enjoys it but does find the noise a bit much so plays it in shorter spurts). The noise is not as bad as I initially thought although I do think a noise control option would be nice.
