Free Printable 2024 Calendar Template for Kids to Design

A personalised calendar is an easy and meaningful gift for kids to create, that is always appreciated by the person receiving it. 

This project is ideal to put together for grandparent gifts, as it is handmade and personal but also has a practical use. 

For teachers, these printable calendars can be used as the starting point for something fun to create with your school or nursery class, for the kids to take home to their parents. 

Use our Free Printable 2024 Calendar Template and have kids draw their own beautiful picture in the space at the top to make it their own. 

We have created two versions of the template, one with a box outline to guide the children where to draw their picture and one which is plain at the top so they can fill the space however they would like to make their own calendars personalised. These templates offer spaces for children to draw their own pictures, making each calendar unique. This activity is perfect for classroom projects or family gifts. Kids can also use Photo Tiles to enhance their calendars with their favorite photos, adding an extra personal touch.

Both of the calendar templates are set out to show the whole year for 2024 with a basic  month by month calendar where you can cross off the days as they pass. 

Here are the 2024 Calendar templates for you to print and use

Note: Some of the example pictures are previous years, but the PDF download has been updated ready for 2024 so don’t worry!

Here’s an example of how this one can turn out. This unrestricted template is great if you want to use the Calendar to digitally add photos or drawings of a non square size, or you want a more minimalist look for the finished 2024 Calendar page. Kids will have plenty of space to design their own perfect calendar however they like.

Printable 2024 Calendar Template with Box for Kids to Draw a Picture

This version of the 2024 calendar template has an empty box for children to draw their picture inside. This version gives a clear guideline of where they should draw their pictures so can be helpful to guide children in their task, especially if you are planning to print out the calendar pages and give to the children to draw their pictures by hand. 

Here is how this Calendar template looks. It is the same as above just with the added boxed area

Here are a few examples of how this one can turn out. Popular ideas for the children to draw are a picture of their family, a self portrait, a picture of their house, or divide the box into four and draw the four seasons but you can take it in any direction. 

The great thing about these templates is that they are so open ended and the best thing about children’s personalised artwork is that it should be individual and true to each child and their personality. 

This simple activity is perfect for kids of all ages, as older kids can take their time to create detailed pictures whereas younger children can create a lovely keepsake with their first mark making attempts in bright bold colours.

Soon we will also provide a printable Calendar set for kids with separate templates for each month of the year, and these can be used to draw a picture of something to represent each month.

This calendar design activity is great to make in the run up to Christmas as a kid-made gift idea, or as a New Year’s activity to talk about the coming new year. You can tie in discussions about what we do in the different months, and things to look forward to during the year. 

Designing the personalised calendar also works within a topic of helping young children learn the names of the months of the year in order. You can compliment this with some fun songs from YouTube like the Little Baby Bum 12 Months of the Year song and kids will have it down really quickly. 

For another months of the year activity, you could re-purpose this Days of the Week LEGO activity to make it Months of the year. Learning the names of each day of the week in order also fits into the calendar theme. This activity is a great way to talk about holidays, celebrations and special days in the year.

Check out some more of our New Years Eve activities for kids for inspiration or work in some of our fireworks crafts  to go alongside the festivities. 

Think about all of the special things and holidays that happen throughout each year. Which day are the kids looking forward to the most?

Can the children find their own birthday on the calendar, or other special days, and circle them on a blank calendar once they find each day. These are important life skills for the future!
