The enclosed files are 1992 calendar templates in COREL DRAW 2.0
CDR and TIF formats. They were created with the help of my kids, ages
9, 7, and 2. The idea came from my 9 year old when she suggested that
we create a calendar with pictures of the family at the top. I decided
that this would be the ideal opportunity to teach them a little about
computing while allowing them to have some fun too. Well, after
numerous arguments about style, content, and who gets to play games
afterwards ... They agreed on the final product. The designs are
simple and straight forward allowing for flexibility. The hardest
part was placing the dates within the boxes but the kids were very
patient and only threatened to kill each other (and me) twice.
Our plans are to import scanned pictures of our family in onto
separate pages, note important dates (birthdays, holidays,
anniversaries, etc.) on the calendars themselves, and take the printed
output to a printshop to be binded. They should make great gifts for
relatives.
I told the kids that we would put these files on a BBS and see if
anyone would like to pay them for their hard work. If you would like
to send them a buck apiece for their effort (or a buck apiece for the
two older kids and a cherry flavored tootsie pop for the two year
old), they would really appreciate it. I'm trying to teach them that
if you do hard work you'll get rewarded for it. They are saving up
for ten speeds so they can keep up with Dad when we go bike riding (the
two year old gets to ride with me so he's happy). Anyway ... enjoy
the files whether or not you decide to send money (or candy).
Thanks
(p.s. my two year old says grape will be fine too!!)
