Sustainability Calendar 2026

The Little Sprouts Sustainability Calendar is an essential planning tool for early childhood educators, teachers, and families who want to embed sustainability and environmental education into their year. Designed to help you plan smarter, not harder, this resource makes it easy to map out awareness-raising activities that support children’s learning about the environment, nature, culture, and community.

Use our blog guide to get the most out of your sustainable year calendar — set clear sustainability goals, prioritise the events that matter most to your service, and create meaningful and memorable experiences for children.

This beautiful, double-sided A1 wall calendar features over 185 handpicked national and international environmental awareness days, weeks, and months, making it an invaluable classroom, home, or office resource. Including Sea Week, Clean Up Australia Day, Earth Day, World Environment Day, World Oceans Day plus so many more significant dates! It’s the perfect tool for building sustainability actions, planning nature-based learning, celebrating environmental action days, and enriching your curriculum.

The calendar showcases stunning illustrations by Wadawurrung artist Jenna Oldaker. Once the year is complete, flip the calendar over for a bonus art print titled Murrkal Turt-Barram (Night Star), providing a unique art display and supporting deeper understanding of Wadawurrung culture and Country.

Don’t trust everything you find on the internet! We triple-check all dates directly with event organisers before printing. While rare changes may occur, we will notify customers of any updates.

The Little Sprouts Sustainability Calendar was developed for early childhood educators, teachers, and parents/carers of children across Australia, to be used in settings such as in the classroom, early learning centres, playgroups, family day care, kindergartens, and home education.

However, we know (from lots of positive feedback received), that this resource is a very useful and inspiring addition to the planning toolkit of organisations that support community and provide services for families like Councils, libraries, conservation organisations, environmental educators, and people working in marketing.

Our calendar is printed in Carrum Downs, Victoria on thick, smooth FSC®️ Mix Certified paper (licensed code FSC®️ C010628). This ensures that all virgin pulp is derived from well-managed forests and controlled sources. Manufactured by an ISO 14001 certified mill.

Please reuse the calendar. It is double-sided to extend its life cycle of use. Come the end of the year, you can turn the calendar over to display the stunning art print by Jenna Oldaker, or use it to create an invitation to play and learn, engaging children in exploration and discovery of Aboriginal art, culture, and Caring for Country.

The calendar is also fully recyclable and compostable.

Reconciliation is an important value we stand by. The Little Sprouts Sustainability Calendar promotes reconciliation and encourages exploring sustainability through Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and connections. It is important that educational services and children develop meaningful connections with Traditional Owners, and Country.

Our Sustainability Calendar promotes and acknowledges the role Australian Traditional Owners have played for thousands of years and continue to play, in Caring for Country. We have been granted permission by the feature artist, Jenna Oldaker (Wadawurrung Traditional Owner) to share her cultural intellectual property, including stories and meanings behind illustrations in the 2026 Sustainability Calendar. Please protect and respect the artists’ cultural intellectual property and copyright.

Jenna Oldaker is a Wadawurrung Traditional Owner and visual artist creating works under Murrup Art. Jenna’s art comes from the sacred tradition of storytelling told by her ancestors and their spirits.

Born and based in Ballarat, Victoria, Jenna’s vibrant, multi-coloured artworks are largely inspired by the Traditional marks and symbols from the Dreamtime, and from Wadawurrung Country itself. Every piece created by Jenna comes from her heart and strong connection to her family and mob.

We are over the moon to be partnering with Jenna, learning more about Wadawurrung culture and Jenna’s art.

Enjoy your Little Sprouts wall calendar as a feature art piece and/or a planning resource hung in your office or workspace, the children’s room, or to welcome families in your service reception area.

Check out our top ideas for how to display the Sustainability Calendar at your work or home. When your rolled print first arrives, we suggest unrolling it and placing it flat on a surface. Weigh this down e.g., with some books on the corners, for a few hours to flatten it out before displaying it.
