12 Month Play Calendar to Print
We thought it would be fun to make a calendar that has room for 365 days of play…no matter when you start! With 500 activities in The Big Book of Kids Activities, you could literally do one every single day for the entire year…and still have 135 activities left over!
Or you could sneak those 135 activities into your year of play.
