My Hero Is Due Home - Defence Kids Countdown Calendar Resource
This downloadable Countdown Calendar resource for Defence Kids serves as a valuable tool for families in the Defence community, helping children understand the passage of time, express their feelings through art, and maintain a strong connection with their serving family member(s). It's a simple yet powerful way to help children cope with the challenges of deployment and keep their spirits high as they eagerly anticipate the return of their loved one serving in the Defence Force.
Features:
1. Daily Coloring Fun: Each day of the month features an engaging and unique image related to the respective branch of the Defence Force. Kids can eagerly mark off each passing day, gaining a tangible sense of the time until their loved one's return. Children can look forward to coloring in a tank for Army, a ship for Navy, or a plane for RAAF. This creative activity not only gives the kids something to do but also helps them express their emotions and allows you to have much needed conversations around any changes in date due to the requirements of service.
2. Day-by-Day Countdown: The calendar includes blank boxes for each day of the month, so that the respective days of the week can be numbered as required for each month needed.
3. Personalized Messages: At the top of each page, there's space for parents to add a heartfelt message. These daily notes provide an opportunity for parents to connect with their children, offering words of love, encouragement, or a shared memory. The daily ritual of reading these messages can foster a sense of closeness and support during the separation.
Download this calendar today and embark on a heartwarming journey of counting down the days until your hero in uniform is back home with your family. We stand by you, and together, we'll make this deployment a little brighter for your children.
