Comments about Lillian Vernon My Activity Calendar:

This product was back ordered when I ordered it so it took a very long time to get to me. There were velcro strips missing from several of the categories. For the "day" category it read "days" when it should have said "day" (of week). Because I couldn't be bothered with sending it back, I whited that out and had to add my own velcro which isn't staying on that well because it's not sewn on like their's was. Overall, I think it's an adorable item and a great learning tool, however, they should have paid more attention to the craftsmenship of this item.[...] typically good quality, but this item fell short in that area.

There is room for improvements.

Cons:

Not Enough Pockets, Outdated years

Primary use:

Personal

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon My Activity Calendar:

Very nice item! It is easy for little hands to hold the 3D pieces. There is always room for improvements: I would ad a pocket for a child's picture, it would be nice to have a pocket "How I feel today" with happy/sad/silly/etc pieces. I would also ad a pocket for "Today activities". It's all from my "wish list", but what I would ask LillianVernon check is the pieces with years on them - there are several that are outdated. Overall it's a very nice product.

Comments about Lillian Vernon My Activity Calendar:

I bought this for my pre-schooler.
It helps to teach her about the season, the months, the days of the week and the weather.
My daughter and I work on the day of the week and what day it is, in the morning. We work on the weather before she goes to bed. When we talk about how the weather was, it also opens up for us to talk about how her day was.

This is a fabulous product and I've made it my signature gift for all the babies and kids of my friends (ages 0-5). It's unique and with the many redundant gifts new moms receive this is something they definately don't have already. It's something that will last a long time, it's attractive, functional and educational, and the ability to personalize is just the icing on the cake.

Cool Gramma

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon My Activity Calendar:

My grandkids are always getting toys with batteries that they tire of in a day or two. They absolutely love these calendars. The first thing they do when they jump out of bed in the morning is to update their calendars.
They haven't gotten tired of them yet and it's been over six months!
I was lucky in that these matched both of my grandkid's decorating theme. (The only way they could improve these is to offer more styles and colors to fit EVERY kid's bedroom decor.)

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon My Activity Calendar:

I bought the item for my 3 1/2 year old as a learning tool. She loves it. She looks forward to changing it with me each morning. She seems really interested in it, I think due to the colors, cute weather pictures and the ease at which you can change each day due to the velcro backings.
