This is a calendar idea I saw on Splitcoasters. I did this project with my son's 3rd grade class for Christmas gifts for parents. I donated all the supplies, I did not want the teacher taking money out of her pocket.
They did really well with it, I did change out the chipboard piece for just picture matted on some cardstock as their photos were much smaller than the chipboard opening. I just had them use glue sticks to adhere the paper, I helped sand the edges. Now that I got my bind-it-all, I am thinking on making some more calendars!

Such a nice idea for x-mas gifts for the parents. Something they will use everyday with a photo of their child also!
OHH that was a really neat idea. what a trooper you are to do that!
This is such a great idea Kathy - I'm sure the kids loved doing this for their parents gift! I know you're having a blast with the new bind-it-all. I need to get one!
This looks awesome Kathy! How sweet of you to help the kids make them and donating the supplies! I'm sure the parents all loved them!

A wonderful calendar Kathy! It looks very nice wiht the blue, Excellent idea for christmas gifts! I hadn't thought of using a photo with these.
You must be a saint to go in and do such a big project with the kids! I don't want them touching my things...there mine mine mine!
what a lovely gesture to donate the supplies and also have the children make something themselves!
I bet the parents LOVED this! What a generous gift!!! Wonderful idea!
what a great idea! i've been looking for a craft project to do with my ladybugs 2nd grade class and i think this would be perfect!
questions:
- did you use your bind it all on this? i can't tell.
- did you use chipboard for the backing? which ones?
thanks so much!
