2 years ago, I started making monthly activity calendars for the kids as a way to ensure we had some sort of fun family activity every day. They loved it, as soon as I’d get home from work every day they would ask me “what are we doing today?” and we’d walk over to the refrigerator (where the paper was posted) and I’d read today the day’s activity. It could be anything: movie night, play dough, color, etc.
