What Size Are the Inserts?
These inserts are designed to fit standard 3″ x 3″ calendar chart pockets.
The calendar days are 2.5 x 2.5″ the months are 10 x 2.5″ and the years are 6 x 2.5″.
🖨️ Using the “scale” option when printing, you can make the elements smaller (example: print at 90% for 2.25″ squares).
⭐ These inserts fit perfectly in the KIBAGA Pocket Chart. I really love this pocket chart. It’s well-made, has three metal gromets, and comes with over one hundred inserts.
The only thing that I don’t like about te calendar is the lack of customization, which is why I made my own pocket calendar inserts for different themes each year!
