The conception of time is something very abstract and diffuse for creatures. They do not understand temporal concepts until they are 6-7 years old. To do this, this proposal, inspired by the bases of Waldorf pedagogy, helps the creature to situate itself in the present moment by visualizing the concepts of time and the different external cycles that surround us to give it a bit of order, having a conception of time in relation to nature. This connection with external cycles facilitates a connection with the internal cycles of each person.

With this cyclical material, the creature can be located in the current moment through different characters embodied in wooden dolls, while there is the option of indicating important dates such as birthdays, change of season, parties or any event, helping the creature to contemplate the preparation time so important for them.

Our yearly calendar design contains 5 cycles: daily, weekly, monthly, seasonal, and lunar.
- The daily cycle is marked by a doll dressed as the Earth that advances each day along the path of the days of the month, pyrographed on the wooden base.
- The weekly cycle is reflected in 7 rainbow colored balls, one for each day of the week, placed on a groove in the wood and repeated according to the weeks of the month.
- The monthly cycle is marked with a doll dressed as the Sun that advances on the path of the outer felt wheel, symbolized with a color and a natural element of each month.
- The seasonal cycle is reflected in the intermediate felt wheel with a color and natural element of each season, combining the 3 months that make it up.
- The lunar cycle is marked by a doll dressed as the Moon that advances on the central wheel marking each of the main lunar phases.

It is a completely manipulative material in which, in addition to what is related to time, the creatures receive many stimuli such as psychomotor work, work on the relationship, sequence, constancy, rhythm and sensory experience with natural materials.

*Handcrafted with non-toxic materials and environmentally friendly sustainable processes.
*Ideal for schools and homes.
*You can choose the colors of the balls with the Waldorf colors for each day or 7 default colors to assign to each day.


-How to use it and security measures:-
Each day the earth advances the number of the day of the month and the corresponding ball with a color is placed each day of the week. Once the monthly cycle is complete, according to the days of each month, all the balls are collected, the Sun advances to the next month that begins and we start the numerical cycle of the Earth and the weekly balls again.
At the same time, the Lady of the Moon moves following the lunar cycle in each of the 4 main phases.

With this calendar you will be able to spend a beautiful moment of the day and keep a complete visual account of the cyclicity of the year, integrating all the cycles in the same element and interacting and manipulating daily.
We recommend placing it in the child's bedroom to integrate it into the waking routine and the lunar cycle into the bedtime routine. Start and close the day with this moment of connection with you, with your creature and with the cycles that surround us, observing the Moon, the Sun and the different seasons in their annual set. Cycles are rhythms, rhythm is life. Maintain this daily rhythm with your child without letting yourself be carried away by the inertia, rush and stress of the day. Open and close your day rooted where you are here and now.

Its use is recommended from 3 years old always with adult accompaniment
Fragile material
Small balls can present a choking hazard in very small creatures. If your creature is still in the oral phase, you can thread the balls with a cotton thread, making the material more secure.
