This wall-mounted, wooden perpetual calendar can be used again and again as a way to tick off the days, and months of the year. With cute illustrations depicting each month, this calendar would make a great educational tool to teach children the pattern of the days, dates and months that make up a year.

## Materials used:

-   [1/8" / 3mm birch-faced poplar plywood](https://kitronik.co.uk/products/32171-3mm-birch-faced-veneered-plywood-600mm-x-400mm-sheet) for the discs and holder
    
-   [1/4" / 6mm poplar plywood](https://kitronik.co.uk/products/3210-6mm-poplar-laser-plywood-600mm-x-400mm-sheet) for the spacers (thinner material would work, just ensure it's at least 1/16" thicker than the wood used for the discs so they can move freely)
    

## You will need:

-   Your cut out calendar pieces
    
-   Wood glue
    
-   Heavy weight or clamp

## Different Materials

Different materials can be used to achieve different results. Here is one I made with oak veneered plywood for the discs and a walnut-veneered plywood for the holder:

The calendar above shows a non-personalised, UK version of the calendar, depicting Bonfire Night for November instead of Thanksgiving. If you'd like the UK version of the calendar discs you can download the file below:
