You can make the calendar on a poster
board.

I use the calendar pieces from
Bry-Back Manor
under "Newsletter Bonuses". The one above, I used cut out the
shapes from my
shape page
on to construction paper and then wrote the numbers on each shape.

This is the instructions I have in the pdf file:
Weather
Cut a piece of paper (or file folder) to be 6”x9”. Cut a piece of
paper (or file folder) to be about 2"x1". Glue it on the top on
the back of a piece of paper (or file folder). Laminate (or use
clear laminate paper). Hole punch it in the middle of the 2"x1"
piece of paper. Cut out the words: WEATHER and Today is. (If you are using the
black and white words, color them using colored pencils.)
Laminate. Place a piece of tape next to Today is and place the laminated
strips of paper for the kind of weather it is outside. (For
younger children, you can use words and pictures.)
Have a child look outside and check the weather. Have a child
place the correct weather word strip next to Today is.
Make a paper that has each weather description (and picture on
it). Have a child place a mark by the correct word
(picture). Graph it at the end of the month.

Days of the Week
Laminate these paper strips: Days of
the Week; Yesterday was;
Today is; Tomorrow is; Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Place Days of the Week on the top of a
board (wall, etc.). Underneath of it (and closer to the right
side), place the days of the week. Have a child place the strips: Yesterday was; Today is; Tomorrow is on the left of the
correct day of the week.
Calendar
Make a calendar out of a large poster board. For the days of the week,
make seven columns and a row of rectangles. Type up the days of
the week. Glue in each rectangle. Divide the poster board
into seven columns and six rows. Laminate calendar pieces you
have created or have found on the web.
Write or type up the year. Place it above, on the right side of
the calender.
Above the calendar, place the laminated months of the year. Place
double sided sticky tape on each rectangle. Have a child place
the correct calendar piece on the calender.
Days in School
Above each a cup (or holder), place the word strips (hundreds; tens;
ones) and number (1 0 0). Have a child add a straw in the ones
place. When you have been in school for ten days, have a child
bundle them up and place them in the tens place. Keep adding them
to the tens place. When you reach one hundred days, bundle all of
them up and place them in the hundreds place.
February Calendar Ideas
For calendar pieces, cut 29 (or more if you want to use it for other
months) small hearts using three colors: pink, red, white. Write
the numbers on each. Laminate. For the top of the calendar,
cut 2 of two colors. Glue them together. Write two letters
on each heart (FE, BR, UA, RY). Laminate. (Note:
Bry-Back Manor has hearts you can use for your calendar.)
