It's December 1 and the kids are already hanging around the stairs, wondering what today's surprise will be.
A paper window that opens on a date can be over in a second, and the fun is gone before breakfast. This Christmas advent calendar works a bit like a gumball machine, so each morning starts with a shake and a twist of the dial. Out comes one egg with a small animal figure inside, and the joints on the figures move. There are 24 eggs, one for each day of the countdown.
Why is this advent calendar so popular?
-
Turn the dial: You shake the box, twist the start dial and an egg drops out, so each day has a little bit of action.
-
24 surprise eggs: There's one egg for every day of the countdown, each in its own color.
-
Animal figures: The eggs hold small animals such as dinosaurs, sea creatures and farm animals, and the joints on the figures move.
Ideal for:
Kids who like toy animals and surprises, parents who want something more hands-on than a paper calendar, and families who like to reuse things each Christmas.
How do you get the eggs out?
Shake the box well, then twist the start dial on the front. An egg drops down into the chute.
Can I refill it next year?
Yes, you can refill the eggs yourself with small items. It does need to be done by hand before you use it again.
What's inside the eggs?
Each egg holds a small animal figure with movable joints, such as dinosaurs, sea creatures, and farm and wild animals.
How many eggs are there?
There are 24, so you get one for each day of the countdown.
