Rainbow Annual Calendar Ring

This unique and beautiful perpetual calendar, developed out of Montessori education, was designed to help children learn the rhythm of the year.

The annual calendar ring consists of 12 parts, each part represents a month of the year, and the color represents the season: green in spring, yellow in summer, red in autumn, and blue in winter.

Every Sunday, move a marble or candle one hole from left to right for the current month to represent the week.

Add one marble daily to the outer ring of 31 holes, which represent the days of the month. (You may wish to assign one color to each day of the week, for instance, Monday-purple; Tuesday-red, Wednesday-yellow, etc.)

At the end of the month, clear the ring in anticipation of the new month and move one segment forward.

Add the set of 12 decorative figures (which can also be used in our birthday ring) to represent each month of the year.

Place extra marbles or seasonal treasure found in nature in the wooden bowl at the center.

Set includes:

• Wooden Baseplate with 31 holes for marbles (may be flipped over to display other objects)
• 12 Wooden Sections in Frame representing each month of the year (one color for each month)
• 35 Wooden Marbles (one color for each day of the week)
• Wooden Bowl

Optional set of decorative figures includes:

• Snowman
• Clown
• Red Tulip
• Rabbit
• Tree
• Butterfly

• Sailboat
