Real talk

The first calendar that sticks, month after month

Most kids' calendars end up in a drawer. This one lives on the wall because every morning becomes a ritual: slide the date magnet, check the weather, spot the season change. Hands-on learning without a screen, without nagging.

You'll watch them anticipate the day before breakfast. That's independence and number sense building themselves.

While they play

What they're quietly building

Looks like play. Works like a lesson.

📅

Number recognition

Placing the date tile every day builds familiarity with numbers 1-31. No flash cards, no pressure, just play.

🌍

World awareness

Seasons, weather, days of the week cement how time and nature connect. The abstract becomes concrete.

⏰

Routine and independence

Becomes their job. Morning ritual. They own updating it. That's pride and self-direction.

🧠

Language and memory

Saying the month, day, season aloud strengthens recall. Montessori-inspired: learn through the hands.

Questions & answers

Questions parents ask before buying

Is this the right calendar for a 5 year old, or should I wait?

Buy it now. Five is the sweet spot where they can read the month, manage the magnets independently, and love the ritual. But it works brilliantly from 3. Catherine McCulloch said it best: 'Perfect gift for any child's first calendar experience.' It grows with them.

Will the magnets fall off or is it strong enough?

The magnets grip firmly. They won't drop during normal play. John A noted, 'Not the usual tat from China,' and Karen Pepper added, 'Toys that don't break after five minutes of play.' Built to withstand daily handling by small hands.

Why does this cost more than the plastic one at the supermarket?

Solid wood, hand-finished surface, stronger magnets, and a 60-day guarantee. Manda Monium put it perfectly: 'Worth every penny full price.' You're buying something passed down to a younger sibling, not replaced in two years. Cost per year gets cheaper with every child who uses it.

Does it need batteries or any setup?

No batteries, no assembly, no app. Mount it, add the magnets, done. Your child updates it each day. No hidden costs, no screen time, no instructions to read twice.

How much does it cost?

The My First Calendar - Magnetic Calendar for Kids is £14.99 today (down from £22.99). Klarna is available at checkout if you prefer to spread the cost.

What's your returns policy?

30 days, full refund, no conditions. Return it for any reason and we refund in full. We've been standing behind what we make since 1795.

Our story

Making toys worth keeping since 1795.

Jaques of London was founded in 1795. We invented croquet, table tennis, and the Staunton chess set. For 230 years, we've been making things that pull children away from passive entertainment and into active, curious, hands-on play.

Jaques of London has been making toys that teach for 231 years. We chose wood, real magnets, and a simple design for this calendar because we know a toy that lasts becomes part of a child's life. It sits on the wall, part of the daily rhythm. That's not a product to us, that's a tool for growing independence. Every piece is chosen because it survives little hands and years of use. Your child's first calendar should be one they'll remember.

Toys and games that leave something behind: a skill, a memory, a piece of play that gets passed on.
Joe, Jaques of London
