However, with a little creativity, you can use these calendars to do so much more. One excellent idea is to use your preschool calendars to develop a written log of your child's life. By simply being intentional with the usage of your calendars, you can have a long term written and visual record of your child's preschool years.
Here's how it works.
1. Keep track of the basics.
Every parent loves to remember the milestones in their child's life and rightly so. Growth patterns such as height, weight, etc., doctor's appointments, and that first dental visit all can be documented on the preschool calendar. Why keep track of these things twice - once on your personal calendar and then rewritten in a baby book? Print out a preschool calendar each month, fill it out and decorate it together with your child according to the month or season and keep track of all monthly events concerning your preschooler in one place.
2. Developmental growth.
Hang your preschool Calendar in a place where every day can first teach your child about the date and day of week, to record the notes in line with developments in real time.
Who are your friends from pre-school child at this stage of life? What does your child attend parties (or give)? Make notes about travel, weather, favorite toy, a new vocabulary, all these precious moments of sweet roll will be to your heart forever. This is the official account written of the life of your son. UseDaily life and generous notes. This will jog your memory for years to come. Your words are priceless!
3. Build and enjoy.
As the months roll along to keep each of your to-school calendars to print pre-published in a guest book. Add scrap booking pages for additional material and pictures if you like. to mount the exception of a morning or afternoon per month, and photos that pop in the pages of the book everything needed to keep the book in your child's life course,accurate and satisfying.
