Calender / Circle Time

 I've been wanting to do a proper Calender / Circle Time with Mouse for some time now.  There is such cute printables available on various blogs but they are all in English and our home language is Afrikaans.  After I saw this post by Nadia from Fun With Mama I knew I had to make my own!
 The first poster has the following on:
1. Today is, Tomorrow is and Yesterday was grit
2. Date of today
3. Day name
The second poster has the following on:
1. Seasons
2. What is the weather like today?
3. Letter of the week
4. Number of the day
5. Extra pouch

 You know something is a hit when your child kisses it!

I saw this super cute idea for a Weather Bear on Little Sprouts, she has a printable version that you can download and print.  I made our own version - Tatam die weer beer!  {Tatam the weather bear}
 A dear friend blessed us with some lovely vinyl stickers ages ago - I used the stickers to cut out our bear and he is such a cutie!  Because it is vinyl I don't need to laminate.
We then designed some pretty clothes to go along with Tatam, it is raining in Cape Town at this stage and he had to get an umbrella of course!  The clothes we are just sticking on with some press stick at this stage, but I would like to get some velcro at some stage.

Any other fun ideas for cirlce / calender time?

I love the weather bear!
Colour of the day/shape of the day/week?
Question of the day is something i want to do - Something like what is your favourite animal...or which animal would you be? What is your favourite colour/why...just things to get little one talking. Found it on one of the popular blogs but can't remember where.

That weather bear is too cute!! I like Donette's idea of a question of the day, too. We've started memorising Scripture (one verse per week) and I would probably add that to the second poster if we did the same thing. Good job, Jolly Mommy!!!
