Janod’s Magnetic Calendar is an interactive tool that offers a multi-sensory approach to learning about time concepts, builds language and vocabulary, and encourages organization.
Children can physically manipulate the magnets to represent days, date, month, and year, helping them understand the sequence of time. Time is very abstract concept to children and being able to manipulate the magnets helps make the learning a bit more concrete. They can learn to identify past, present, and future events.
Repetition is another key element of learning, and using the calendar daily provides opportunities for practice and mastery of these concepts. This repetition can also aid in vocabulary acquisition.
The magnets for mood/feelings and weather provides an excellent opportunity to teach these more vocabulary in a fun and interactive way. Children can express how they’re feeling, learning words to name their emotions. They practice observation and prediction skills when describing the weather, which all help to develop their vocabulary and improve language skills.
Janod’s Magnetic Calendar is the perfect home or classroom tool that supports learning through repetition, and understanding abstract concepts. Children loved taking on the daily responsibility of changing the calendar, playing pretend school, and naming their feelings for the morning. It’s a valuable resource for parents, educators, and therapists.
