Advent Calendar Ideas

If you’d like to do an advent calendar with your child, but you’ve forgotten until now, amazon is your best friend.
Here’s a list of ideas I found that I thought might be great for different families:
- Mochi squishy advent calendar
- Christmas village advent calendar
- Alloy construction engineering vehicle advent calendar
- Hot wheels advent calendar
- 3-D printer animals calendar
- Sesame Street Storybook Collection advent calendar (other varieties available)
- Tabletop Christmas Tree with ornaments advent calendar
- Lego advent calendar (many varieties available)
- PlayDoh advent calendar
- Pull back cars advent calendar
This year, my guys are getting advent calendars that focus on their interests. That means a jigsaw puzzle advent calendar for Mikey and a fisherman advent calendar for Will. It is a tradition our family loves.
