“It is really helpful. If someone doesn't know the seasons they can find it out. I liked how it moves around and the top comes off."
Circa Calendar is proud to announce its appointment of Cicada Education Ltd as its exclusive Global Schools Distributor. We look forward to a successful partnership.

This unique wooden educational toy calendar encourages teacher/carer-
With Circa, children can split the year into days of the week, days of the month, months of the year, and the seasons, learning each of the different components of the calendar separately rather than being overwhelmed by the calendar as a whole. As their awareness grows they can fit the discs together to see how the calendar comes together as a whole.
Circa aims to help children in their time awareness as well as maths skills, such as sequencing (e.g. order of the weeks days, seasons, months), addition and subtraction (e.g. how many days from a specific day to another in the correct order either adding days or subtracting days).
Circa is divided into four pieces that represent a major cyclical event in the calendar:
- the days of the week disc
- the months of the year disc, including a rotating seasons sub-
disc - the days of the month disc
- and a perpetual year dial
Full features are:
- movable markers on each disc to highlight a day, month or date
- removable and reusable vinyl activity stickers to be used to emphasise an important event
- colour coded days of the week to separate between weekend and week days
- colour coded months of the year to correspond with the number of days in each month
- seasons disc that can be rotated depending on which hemisphere you are in
- days of the week nursery rhyme on the reverse side of the disc
- months of the year nursery rhyme on the reverse side of the disc
