It's great! We try to teach our kids that there is so much to learn about in life and that you should never stop learning...so we use this as a tool to show them that learning can be fun and interesting. They love it!

I ordered this item for my daughter so that she would have interesting facts to take to school with her and share with the class. The response was overwhelming. She now periodically shared tidbits on the morning announcements for the entire school. I am thinking of getting another to actually give to the teacher for the classroom for Christmas.

This calendar has graced the wall of my Enrichment (resource room for above average students) classroom for the past 3 years. I even save old calendars for the WEALTH of info contained therein!! I mean, a whole calendar dedicated to HISTORY or Famous People and NOW SCIENCE!! Students love to look up what is going on on their birthday or whatever day they look at and then become engrossed with checking on more and more and more days!! We have used items found on the calendar to spice up our "Interesting thought" on our morning broadcast, too! I usually purchase several of these calendars to give to children of friends as well. WELL WORTH IT!!

We gave the calender to the neighbors who are home schooling. We now can talk to their kids and ask "What did you learn today".
-
The calender provides a diverse range of information, activities and starting points for learning. Our favorite feature is the space left to document what happened during the week that will be in the history books of the future. The experiments are reasonable and can be done with materials already in many homes or that are easily obtained.
-
If we were to make an improvement it would be to link the data for a particular day to another date in history to provide a sense why this was significant or its relationship to what else was going on in the world about the same time.

Of course, each year is a bit different... but all equally wonderful to have hanging in the art room. Kids (K-6) check it out all the time and show eachother interesting facts! Thanks so much for carrying this important educational and enlightening calendar!

I bought this for my 10 year old daughter but have to say that my 51 year old husband couldn't put it down on Christmas Day. He quizzed myself and my daughter throughout the day and would read us the different trivia. I found the information in this calendar to be very unique compared to other trivia type books I have read. It covers a variety of subjects, is interesting, and fun. I think teachers would greatly appreciate having this in their classroom. It would be of interest to both boys and girls and even adults. I would even like to see a daily Learning Calendar so I can tear off a page each day and tuck it in with my daughter's lunch box so she could share and have fun with her friends. I highly recommend this item and look forward to buying future editions.

I purchased this calendar for my 7 year-old daughter. It's a little advanced for her since she doesn't get all the references, but it's a great conversation starter, and she loves checking it every day. It's a great introduction to science and history. I think she'll be able to understand the 2010 science theme more than the 2009 inventions theme so we're looking forward to flipping the page to the new year.

My 12 year old grand-daughter loved this gift. She enjoys keeping track of days and events, and checks a calendar each day. This calendar has a different fact to learn every day to make things even more interesting. Sixteen months are included in the calendar, making it even better. She didn't have to wait until January 1 to start using it.

It has been great so far. I wish I had it since January so we would have more use out of it. I liked it so much, I bought an additional one for my son's teacher who is in a magnet school, and I use mine to homeschool the other boys. She reads the fact for the day, and incorporates it into the students morning writing lesson. I do wish there were different grade levels of fun facts depending on the age group of the child - like 4-6, 6-10, etc.

I love the calendar and the monthly emails that accompany the calendar. There's so much important and fun information each month. I wish I had ordered it sooner for this year, but I have next year's calendar already to go up on Jan. 1st. My 5 kids range in ages from 7-18 and they all read it. I'm bringing it to my homeschool group to let them know about it. It's a product that I will continue to purchase each year. Thanks!

I first purchased The Learning Calendar two years ago for my son. This year I purchased one for my youngest son (10) and my grandchildren (13, 9 & 10 mos.) I spoke with my brother yesterday and will be ordering another soon for my neice(11).
My husband was the one to open the package and start reading The Learning Calendar ... It was hard to get it from him to hang it up... LOL! Personally I prefer to read each day as it comes (and not read ahead) -- It's fun!!

My grandson turned nine in January and requested a learning calendar for his birthday. I had given him one last Christmas and he read it each day. Of all the toys he could have asked for, this is the item he wanted most. I am very glad you carry this quality item.

It's hard to judge on "Play Value" of this item since this calendar is more of a learning tool, but not a toy. I purchased total of 3 calendars: one - for my daughter's (she is 10) personal use and other 2 we gifted to her school for classroom uses. I hope teachers will implement information on these calendars into their daily classroom activities, so kids can learn something new on the daily bases.

It's a calendar, not a toy so I don't know if "play value" is relevant, but my 8 year old son loves it. He tells me everyday a fact that he read on his calendar. If he reads about something that he wants to know more about then we look it up.

This calendar is a great learning tool. It is fun for the whole family. Each day has a new fun fact from history that happened on that particular day. I would highly recommend this calendar. However, if you are a person who likes to write daily events on your calendar this is not for you.

Gave this calendar to my 5-1/2yr and Almost-11-year old granddaughters. An hour and a half later I realized that they, and my 11-1/2-year old grandson had been reading them almost since they had finished opening all of their remaining gifts! I consider this an amazing, across-the-board, equalizing education. I highly recommend the calendar...even for those children who cannot read really well yet. Just because they can't read doesn't mean they don't comprehend the content! Great product!

What a great way to spark a child's (or adult's) brain to think and ask questions and go deeper to learn more. And the subjects are so varied that this calendar will hit on the natural interests of any child so that they broaden their range of knowledge. Given the state of public education in this country, we need SOMETHING that encourages real learning, not test-taking! And this calendar will also start good conversations with parents and grandparents. I am looking forward to hearing my grandkids tell me all the fascinating things they will be taking in every day.

The calendar is fantastic in terms of information. I think older children would be able to appreciate it more than the younger ones. But I read it and if I see something that my 3 and 6 year olds can relate to, I let them know in words they can understand. Then, they ask me questions, and more questions, and more questions....so watch out!...and know your history, science etc.! You will get quizzed.

My children read the whole calendar the day we hung it up. They enjoy going back to it each morning for review. They love to remind me of events that have happened and it inspires them to do further research on the topics on their own. This is a must have for Homeschooling families and a great tool in making learning fun for anyone. I will buy another one next year too!
