We do not recommend using anything but liquid chalk markers on your calendar because the matte surface of our calendars is very different than a dry erase board or a typical glossy laminated surface. You should not use dry erase markers on your calendar.

We have tested several wet and dry erase markers on our calendars and have found that many leave a little bit of “ghosting” (residual color) on the surface after they are erased, so we do not recommend them.

We are not responsible for and cannot issue refunds for damage caused by the markers you choose to use.

Liquid chalk markers are wet erase, not dry erase:) We recommend wiping liquid chalk (that has completely dried) off your calendar with a slightly damp paper towel and then immediately drying your calendar with a dry paper towel.

Liquid chalk wipes up much more easily and cleanly if you allow it to fully dry before attempting to erase it.

Do not use a magic eraser, scrub pad or anything else that is abrasive on your calendar as it could damage the matte lamination.

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 (which is nice and thick--250 gsm). The coating does not make the paper stiff or rigid like traditional dry erase calendars.

Many of the photos of our calendars show them hanging in these DIY magnetic poster hangers that our founder and creator of the calendars, Tasha, made herself! You can find the tutorial on her blog here: https://kaleidoscopeliving.com/diy-oversized-magnetic-poster-hanger/

No, there is no adhesive on our calendars so they will not stick to any surface on their own.

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.

We like dating using 1.5" sticky notes to add appointments, etc. Each square on our calendars is roughly 2" x 2" so 1.5" sticky notes work perfectly without covering up the date.

We also love these transparent sticky notes! They allow the colors of the wall calendar to shine through.

Why do we like post-it notes? You can use different color post-it notes to signify different things and can write on them with any pen you have handy at the moment. They are also great because you can easily move them around if things get rescheduled or change!

Another option we love is using solid color washi tape. We love this option when adding things like vacation or summer camp dates that stretch across many days. Washi tape should easily peel off without damaging your calendar, but again…TEST it first in an inconspicuous area of your calendar since the strength of washi tape varies from brand to brand.
