Calendars are often pretty mundane things so we’ve combined it with one of our favourite childhood activities, dot to dot.

It's a fun calendar that plays with the rituals and patterns we have in our adult life by contrasting them with the childhood activity of dot-to-dot. The format provides a framework to be used and customised, coloured and scribbled on.

As time goes on it becomes a more emotive, personal and unique object, taking on the personality of the user, becoming more valuable in the process.
