TREND Year Around Calendar Bulletin Board Set

So I bought it, laminated it, used an exacto knife to cut out the slits,

This really has compacted everything I do for circle time! More space for other things!!

Fabulous set with all the bells and whistles to do our calendar activity.

Expecting it to be more sturdy. Instructions suggest to get it laminated. Would have preferred for it to be prelaminated or thicker cardboard. Other than that, it's ok. Just opened it today. Have little hope it will last all year.

The calendar is tough to keep the dates on- it would definitely be better laminated.

I got this calender set to use in my High School Autism classroom because it doesn't have all the kiddie animals and characters but still covers some of those basic skills some of my students still need to learn like what the weather is and the day of the week. Good: The product is nothing fancy but for the price it is exactly what I am looking for. I am not sure why some of these other reviews are not great. for $10-$11 bucks I didn't plan on getting a high quality, laminated awesome set. what I got is an affordable, functional, no nonsense calender that I can laminate and differentiate for my students needs. I plan to laminate it and put velcro on the days of the week pieces, weather, and calender dates so that we can change them each morning. it comes perforated so all the pieces were easy to separate and I didn't have to cut anything! Bad: when I got the box it was damaged. it looked like it had been squished and when i opened it up the poster had been rolled up and shoved not very nicely or carefully diagonally into the box. it fit very tightly as a regular box I'm sure but because of the damage to the box in shipping the poster was also damaged and crinkled all up to the point were i will have to return it and buy again in order to laminate it and use it. I'm very disappointed and hoping i will be able to get this done by the time school starts. walmart needs to take a little more care in packaging their products and maybe use more appropriate shipping containers for different products.

I ordered this calendar set to use with my son as we complete preschool activities at home. If I could, I would have laminated the entire set first, as that would extend its life a bit. As a former kindergarten teacher, I wouldn't expect this set to last an entire school year. And if you have the children facilitate calendar time with you, unless laminated, these items will tear in no time. :(. The option to tuck each numbered card into its spot on the calendar is nice, but nearly impossible to do without tearing the flap that holds the number card in place (therefore making it useless!). I opted to adhere each number card to the calendar with sticky tack that is removable, but even with that, the cards bend and crease when I gently remove them. If I had access to a laminating machine, I would not use the number cards and instead have my son write the numbers on the calendar with a dry erase marker each month. I chose this set because I liked that it includes a weather graph, so we can compare the amounts of each kind of weather every month (again, I want to laminate that too, so we can wipe clean and reuse each month). I am happy with the price I paid and was not expecting superior quality, so it doesn't bother me that I need to make the set last and handle it with care. Just wanted to give a heads-up to those who are considering it for daily classroom use.

I like the information that this calendar shares (such as "What is today? What was yesterday? etc.) However, it is made of thin cardboard and does not stand up to daily usage.

would not recommend buying from this seller. yes I got a bulletin board set but not the one as pictured which is upsetting considering my class is color themed and this is darker more depressing colors...and nothing sticks well
