The wheels makes it easier for the kids to grasp the concept of cycles of days and months.
The kids active involvement in changing the numbers on the chart and turning the wheels everyday help to refresh their memory on the concept. I let my son colour in the months according to the different seasons ie brown for autumn, blue for winter, green for spring and yellow for summer. and the glitter around the gregorian months denotes the sun as the point of reference for the gregorian calendar while the stars on the muslim months denotes the use of the moon as reference in the islamic calendar. Let them write themselves as much as possible. Here, I let my son write in the numbers, including the arabic ones..
After all the hard and serious work, what better way to let them loose than letting them do some stampings and sticker-sticking!
