I Can Calendar- From Plywood (Educational Calendar for Kids)

I wanted to teach my 6 year old daughter about the days of the week in a fun way. So I came up with the Idea of a calendar the she can set to the right date every morning and that where the I can Calender comes from.

Step 1: Drawings of the Frame

The drawing was done in Inkscape and was designed for 3mm ply wood.

Step 2: Drawing for the Weeks,months and the Numbers

The weeks and months was fairly easy how ever getting to the number I had to sit down and think about it for a but. What I came up with is that you going to need...

2 x ones

2 x two's

2 x three's

and a six that can be used as a nine

4

5

7

8

Step 3: Cutting the Ply Blocks

I used 19mm ply to cut 5 blocks for the months and the days of the week 19mm x 19mm x 77mm.

to make the 38mm x 38mm x 38mm I just glued two 19mm ply boards together and cut them in to square bloxs

Step 4: Laser Cutter Time

First I cut out the box to hold all the blocks, then engrave all the numbers,days of the week and the months.

For the days of the week I added an extra day "Playday" this can be like a reward for the kids a day of no chores or something along those lines. I wanted to make it a birthday but that's only once a year no fun in that.
