If you do a pattern with your calendar, where do you get your patterned pieces?

I used 2 sided shapes for Sept/October, but the butterflies are getting a bit old. My local teaching store has NOTHING in stock. I check my usual sites but couldn't seem to find what I'm looking for. What do you use? Where do you get them?

Thanks in advance!

ck the website www.childcareland.com under free printables. At the end of the printables there are months listed and they have calendar numbers.

I have a lot of shapes that a teacher gave me. She laminated construction paper and then used the die cut. If you laminate first it saves time cutting around the shapes than if you laminate after.

I just use different calendar number sets and make whatever pattern I want for the month.

I have some sets that I made using a graphic I liked for the month and copied on colored paper, construction or card stock. November is a turkey from a worksheet that I reduced and have in 2 shades of brown. I made extras so I don't have to decide on the pattern when copying.
Others I have made this way are shapes, hearts, snowmen with different colored hats and scaves, leaves.
I have Print Shop on my home computer and made a new October pattern with pumpkins and eggplants. (eggplant was the only other veggie clip art I liked.The kids loved it.) You can search the web for free graphics, too.
I also have a set that are from an arrow shaped sticky pad. The pattern is created by turning the arrows in as many different directions as you want.
I like crafty type stuff.
If you do not, try seasonal stickers on card stock cut to fit your calendar.
Hope this helps.
