Our Little Year

A gift for grandparents: the whole of 2027 with every grandchild's birthday

Grandparents rarely forget a birthday, but they love seeing them all together: one sheet on the kitchen wall, the whole year in a row and a cake on each grandchild's day. It takes ten minutes to make, costs a print, and stays in sight all year.

Sample 2027 year calendar: 365 tiles in a row coloured by season, with birthdays marked by icons.

How to make it

  1. Pick 2027 and your country: public holidays are added for you, and you can switch off the ones you don't need.
  2. Add the birthdays of every grandchild, their parents and the grandparents themselves. Add the year of birth and the calendar shows how old each person turns. Everyone can have their own icon.
  3. Add the other dates that matter to the family: anniversaries, a holiday together, a grandchild's first day of school.
  4. Give it a title, such as "Nana and Grandad's 2027".
  5. Download the PDF and print it.

Names and dates stay on your device: the calendar is made in your browser and there's no sign-up.

Printing it as a gift

At home: 3 portrait A4 sheets side by side, about 57 × 28 cm. Cut along the dashed line and join them with a little glue or tape.

At a print shop, in one piece: choose A2, A1 or 70 × 50 cm and take the PDF to a print shop or an online printer. The file is vector-based and stays sharp at any size. For a gift, a 70 × 50 frame or a rigid board turns it into a picture.

Make it even more theirs

It works for the grandchildren too

The same calendar on the children's wall helps them see time passing: days in a row, the colour of each season, how many tiles are left until Grandma's birthday. Read the guide on using it with young children.
