what can i write on my calendar with?

Our reusable wall calendars are erasable when used with white or silver liquid chalk markers.

We only recommend using white liquid chalk markers on our rainbow and navy blue calendars. For our white calendar, we only recommend using silver liquid chalk markers. Other colors or types of markers may leave residual color behind (also called "color ghosting").

Traditional pens and markers will not write well on the smooth, coated surface and are not erasable.

We are not responsible for and cannot issue refunds for damage caused by what you choose to write on your calendar with.

what chalk markers do you recommend?

Silver chalk markers can be difficut to find, so all of our reusable white calendars include two silver chalk markers that we had specially made.

We recommend these white chalk markers for our rainbow and navy calendars.

Can i use dry-erase markers?

No. The matte coating on our reusable calendars is very different than a dry-erase surface or typical glossy lamination and is not compatible with dry-erase markers.

Can i use any other colors of liquid chalk markers?

There are so many different brands and colors of liquid chalk markers that we can't test them all to confirm which will erase cleanly.

Generally speaking, the more pigmented or saturated the color (black, red, etc.) the higher the chance of color ghosting. Please watch the video below for a demonstration.

If you would like to assume the risk of testing other colors, we recommend that you do so on an inconspicuous area to ensure it erases cleanly and completely before using it to write all over your calendar. We are not responsible for and cannot issue refunds for damage caused by what you choose to write on your calendar with.

how much wall space do I need?

It totally depends! Each month is 16 inches wide by 20 inches tall. The arrangement possibilities are endless depending on how much wall space you have and what your preferences are.

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.

Below are some examples that show the range of wall space you might need for different arrangements.

how should i hang my calendar?

By far the most frequently asked question we get about our large wall calendars is "how do I hang them?" The short answer is that you can hang them however you would hang a thick art print or poster.

You can find some specific ideas and recommendations at the bottom of this page.

What is the best way to hang them so that they last as long as possible?

It depends.

If you plan to hang them in a high traffic area and/or where little hands might touch them frequently, the most durable option would be to hang them in frames.

If you plan to hang them in your office where you only touch them when you need to add an appointment or deadline, frames should not be necessary.

Let us explain a bit more...

Our monthly wall calendars are made from thick 250gsm paper that has a special coating on the front. The thickness of the paper is similar to what you might find a high-quality greeting card printed on.

The thickness of the paper makes them far more durable than similar products you may have seen. But they are still PAPER, so how they hold up over time will depend on how much and how gently or roughly you handle them.

The special coating on our paper calendars is VERY different from typical dry erase or laminated surfaces that are thick and 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.

Calendar Hanging Inspiration

Option 1: Hang them directly on your wall.

Thumb tacks and push pins are easy and inexpensive. Click here to see several options that won't leave holes in your calendar. You can watch the video below to see some of them in action :)

Option 2: Put them in frames.

If you are only going to hang 1 to 4 months at a time, I love the idea of hanging them in 16 x 20-inch frames. Liquid chalk markers work great on glass or plexiglass! You can find some of my favorite frame options listed below. Click on any image below to see product recommendations.

Option 3: Add faux oversized poster hangers.

This is how I personally display the calendar that is in my office. It's a very simple DIY project! You can see the tutorial for how to make faux oversized poster hangers here.

Option 4: Hang all 12 months with a large clip.

This is my favorite hanging option if you are short on wall space! Just use a large clip like this one for a simple and beautiful way to hang all 12 months of your calendar.

Awesome

I ordered a navy blue set a while back for my office (I'm a music teacher at an arts academy, so being able to see a full year of busy performance schedules and dates at a glance is going to be awesome! I just finally got it up on the wall yesterday! Wanted to send you a picture! I recently purchased a white set from that awesome sale you had, that one's going up in my house. Thank you for your awesome business and product! 💕

Truly everything they say!

I received my calendar last week and I am so happy with it! I wanted a way to have a better visual runway of my schedule because I have a LOT on my plate and I tend to overschedule/overcommit myself. I decided a four month look at events and special projects might help me spread things out more appropriately. I now have my current month on my desk blotter and the next three months at eye level. I ordered the recommended markers and one of the hanging options from Amazon and they came together perfectly. I've already started adding stuff to each month and as much as I do use digital calendaring and planning, I LOVE being able to look up and see what I've already got going on instead of having to flip over to my Google calendar. I also can use it to be project specific instead of simple events like clients or zoom meetings that are day to day. So happy with the quality, shipping, and delivery time. I just came on to write this review and saw the calendar is on sale and I'M NOT EVEN MAD ABOUT IT because I love it so much it was worth full price!

The seller is so nice! And I love these calendars. Helpful to track my habits somewhere I can see them often instead of in a notebook somewhere. Highly highly recommend :)

I hesitated to purchase this wall calendar since I often times just grab a 12 month calendar during after Christmas sales. I knew I wanted a "longer view" of the year for business purposes so I pulled the trigger. I have not stopped looking at it since I hung it on my wall. It is truly stunning and sparks sooooo much joy! I love that you can customize it in any array you want (I just hung the last few months of this school year), that it is reusable and that the team at Kaleidoscope Living made spot on recommendations for tools to use (transparent sticky notes? Who knew?). I am thrilled by this purchase and would HIGHLY recommended.

A Joy Filled Calendar

When I saw the ad, I was immediately intrigued by the colors and the size of each individual sheet. The shipping came quickly, and the customer service deserves five stars in its own. I feel like the colors are even brighter in person. The calendars are easy to write on and easily erasable as instructed in the product description. I have nothing but great things to say about this calendar and immediately went to rave about it to my friends. Thanks for making such a thoughtful product!

Best Planning Tool

I love this wall calendar! Not only is it so colorful and fun in my office, but it is beyond practical! I can stick sticky notes inside, write on it, erase it! It is big enough to write in and it be legible. I love that it will be reusable year after year because it comes completely blank!

Navy Blue Calendar

This calendar is something that fills the gap in my activity/goal organization. I love that this matches my decor and at a glance we know if something is scheduled. This is and will be a favorite for years to come. Very easy to put up with non stick tape and ordered Chalk markers from Amazon for writing.

Beautiful and so useful

I love my calendar. I love everything about it. The colors and how it decorates the wall. It’s super useful and beautiful!
I would just recommend the store to ship worldwide. It was a bit complicated for me to get someone to bring it to Mexico.
I am so happy with it! Thank you!

Can i use washi tape on my calendar?

Using washi tape is a fantastic way to mark events that last multiple days or weeks (see the photo below for an example). Washi tape should not damage your calendar, but note that washi tape should never be placed over/on top of liquid chalk marker. The adhesive from the washi tape can cause the writing to stick to the calendar and may make it impossible to erase. So be sure to only write on (and not underneath) your washi tape!
