Tutorial Tuesday: Hand Print Calendar

My son (who is in kindergarten) gave me the cutest calendar that I just had to share with you all. If you want to your child to give a present to someone that will melt their hearts, then this is the gift to give!! It just melted my heart when he gave it to me and he was so proud of himself, he made sure to go through every page with me and tell me what he did.

Sorry for the bad pictures, I scanned them in. Also, I'm going to explain all of these the best I can, if it just sounds silly, just look at the pictures :)

Each page is on 8 1/2x11 paper and is laminated so you can draw on it with a dry erase marker. This the front page
