Calendar from toilet paper rolls

Children make a colourful calendar from 12 rolls, one for each month.

Steps

1. Conversation: how many months are in a year and what seasons follow each other.
2. Each pair of children covers a roll with paper in the colour of the season and draws the symbol of the month.
3. We glue the rolls in a row or string them on a string in the order of the months.
4. Every morning one child moves a paper clip to the correct month.

Tip: Agree on the colours of the seasons together at the beginning, e.g. white for winter and green for spring.

Materials needed

• Coloured A4 paper (1 block per group)
• Glue stick (1 per pair)
• Jute twine (1 ball)
