Reusable Wall Calendar Guide
How to choose, use, and display a wall calendar that actually works for you.
What is a Kaleidoscope Living Reusable Wall Calendar?
Our reusable calendars are large undated wall calendars with a matte finish that can be written on with white liquid chalk markers, wiped clean and used again!
They give you the visibility of a wall planner and the function of an erasable calendar without the shiny, institutional look of dry-erase calendars.

No glare means you can actually see your plans and goals from any angle.
Undated Freedom
It's ready when you are. No expiration date. No wasted months, no matter when you start.

Reusable Calendar FAQs
What markers should be used?
Our reusable wall calendars are intentionally designed to be used with white liquid chalk markers. We prefer liquid chalk markers over dry-erase products because once the liquid chalk dries, it doesn't smudge!
Other colors or types of chalk markers may leave residual color behind (also called "color ghosting").
Dry-erase markers are not compatible with our calendars. Traditional pens and pencils will not write well on the smooth, coated surface and are not erasable.
How much wall space does the calendar take up?
We get asked this question a lot. The answer is that it totally depends!
Each month is 16 inches wide by 20 inches tall. Hang all 12 at a time, 4 at a time, 3 at a time (perfect for businesses who are focused on quarterly goals), or even 1 at a time.
You can see a variety of wall calendar layout examples with measurements here.
Are these similar to dry-erase calendars?
No, the special coating on our paper calendars is VERY different from typical dry-erase or laminated surfaces that are shiny.
Our coating has a beautiful, matte finish and adds very little weight to the paper. The coating does not make the paper stiff or rigid like traditional dry-erase calendars.
How long will they last?
It depends.
Our reusable wall calendars are printed on thick 350gsm cardstock paper with a special matte coating on the front. The thickness of the paper makes them far more durable than similar products you may have seen.
But they are still paper, so they can bend and tear. How they hold up over time will depend on how often and how gently or roughly you handle them.
I've been using the calendar in my office for several years already and they still look new. But a calendar in a high-traffic area that gets handled frequently by a busy family may start to show signs of wear more quickly.
How do they erase?
Liquid chalk markers are a damp-erase product. To erase liquid chalk writing off your calendar, wipe it with a damp paper towel or cloth and then wipe off any excess moisture with a dry cloth.
How do you hang them? Are they self-adhesive?
No, they are not self-adhesive. You can hang them almost any way you would hang a thick paper poster or art print (frames, push pins, poster hanging strips, brass clips, Command Strips, magnetic poster hangers, etc.).
You can find lots of calendar hanging tips and ideas here.
