Wooden Montessori Calendar for Kids
Introduce children to the rhythm of the day, week, month, and year with this beautifully designed wooden Montessori calendar. Created as a hands-on daily learning resource, the set helps children actively participate in updating the date, identifying the day of the week, observing the weather, and recognizing the current season.
Rather than simply looking at a printed calendar, children physically select and position the corresponding wooden pieces. This hands-on process supports calendar awareness, sequencing, number recognition, language development, visual discrimination, and independence while making everyday classroom and homeschool routines more engaging.
The complete set is divided into five coordinated learning boards: a large monthly calendar, a months-of-the-year board, a days-of-the-week board, a weather board, and a seasons board. Red highlight frames allow children to clearly identify the current month, date, day, weather condition, and season.

Why Parents & Educators Love It
This wooden calendar transforms an everyday concept into a hands-on learning experience. Instead of simply being told the date or weather, children participate by finding, matching, arranging, and updating the information themselves.
The separate wooden boards create an organized and visually appealing calendar station that can remain displayed throughout the year. Extra year pieces and the included storage holder also make it easier to keep unused components organized for future use.
Care & Use
Designed for indoor educational use. Keep unused pieces organized in the included storage holder when not in use. Adult setup and supervision are recommended as appropriate for the child’s age and learning environment.
