My oldest child is 6. I'd like to start using the Liturgical wheel this year (are my kids too young?). Would the LTP wheel here be too much for them? Should I start with something simpler?

My son is almost 4 and the LTP wheel worked well. You don't need to get into the details of the wheel. Visually seeing the overall view of the color of the seasons really gave him a sense of the time and changes of the Liturgical Year. And he'll grow into more of the details as time goes forward.
And my sister, after seeing mine, ordered one for her children, ages 1 1/2 to 10.
I'm looking forward to seeing 2008 calendar.

I saw a lovely simple one in a catalog for Cathecists. It is www.pflaum.com/catalog.
It is a liturgical calendar "for classroom and home" called "The Year of the Lord 2007-2008" and comes in a 16"x22" size.
It looked very simple to me and I thought it would work well for my son (age 4.5) and I am planning on buying it (even though this liturgical year only has a few months to go!)

Ah found it!
It seems they are taking pre-orders for the coming liturgical year calendar and offering free shipping.
I wish I could see it before buying.
Like you Jenn I'm interested to see what the new LTP one will look like. I thought this year's was very nice.

Well I just ordered it. Here's the big laminated one in English. No picture yet though - just a description.
I got the laminated one this year because I can't get it done locally - it's too big for the laminators. I also order the smaller ones for my RCIA class.
Oh I also got the wall calendar. We use that every year. It's pricey compared to the ones you can get at the office supply stores but it's Catholic - they aren't.

MicheleQ, your post said "Ah found it! It seems they are taking pre-orders for the coming liturgical year calendar and offering free shipping. I wish I could see it before buying"
Your link showed a pic of the 2006-07 one. My most recent catalog showed the 2007-08 one...and they look identical---obviously the detail of the dates and the cycle would be different, but it appears to me that the artwork in the center, and the general design of the calendar, remains the same?
I wonder.. You are on the ball though! Already pre-ordered! It's on my to-do list. :-)

No image yet, but it does list a different artist for 2008 calendar, so it will be different.
Michele are you also ordering a pack of 25 smaller ones and making placemats this year? I loved that idea, but I have no use for 21 extra calendars!

And I googled the artist. Her is a sample of her work . It looks like she is generally a nature/environment artist. I like some of it. Some of it it kind of different.

Or do you think there are enough people in NO VA to share a pack. I wonder if we have enough folks here interested in getting the larger pack and splitting it? Good idea Jenn.

If you look on the resources page you get a hint of what it will look like - at least what the center picture will be. I think it looks nice.

I'm ordering the 25 pack yes and whatever is left after giving them out at RCIA will be made into place mats for my kids. I never know how many I'll need for RCIA though.
God bless,

I like it. The theme is the Eucharistic Congress, so it looks like the emphasis will be a Eucharistic theme.

Wow, she is a very talented artist, I am very impressed and looking forward to seeing eventually, the 2008 calendar.
Melissa, we use it in our home and all the children love it, from the 12year old down to the 4year old. They interact with it daily by glueing the saint of the day onto each square (if you want the 12months of saint sheets that are made to fit this calendar, just pm me) and this colourful calendar becomes even more colourful! As we are putting the saint image on I find they all as questions and particularly my 4year old - so it is a calendar suitable for the very young as well.
As Jenn said something to the effect of the liturgical colours are there and they will learn that very quickly at an early age, a great place to start with a child, presenting them with the full Church calendar year...

Does anyone have an opinion on which they prefer - the Pflaum one or the LTP one? Does the Pflaum one come only in sets of 25?
Thx!

Where can I see what the pack of 25 looks like? Even last years would do in a pinch. I could use 5 of them, but would only be worthwhile for everyone's pocketbook if we bought them before the end of August when I will no longer be a NoVA gal :-(

I've never seen the Pflaum one in person but from the picture I definitely prefer the LTP one. The Pflaum one appears to only have the Sundays on it, on an outer ring. I like that the LTP one has a box for everyday of the year on it (the boxes for each day of that week come into the center of the circle from the Sunday box).

But getting back to Melissa's original question - the Pflaum one might be simpler for younger ones.

May I ask a question about the LTP calendar for 2008? Why is November 30 and December 1st missing...am I not seeing this correctly?
Maybe I just need some coffee...

I'll have a giggle first...
Have you bought one already Donna or are you viewing a bigger version on the internet?
November 30 and December 1st are present on the 2007 and so I imagine it would have to be on 2008...(who could do without St Andrew's feast and the marking of the beginning of the Christmas Novena? )
