The Purple Cow NEW 2023 Christmas Countdown Advent Calendar - 24 Beautiful DIY Arts & Crafts Ornaments & Decorations Handmade by your kids. 24 days, all season decorations for Christmas Tree and Table

High quality calendar with a good selection of things to make, great for crafty kids!

This is great. Cool crafts, nice materials. Day one creates a star ornament and everything you need is provided, you just add a baking sheet, liner paper or foil and your oven. It looks great and the crafts are nice, not too hard, not too boring. My daughter (11) and son (10) love it! Really pleased. Update: day 7 and my 6th grader still loves it. My 5th grader finds the craft instructions really hard to follow, lots (4/6) have not gone quite right for him and he’s pivoted to his own inventing, which is fine, but means the company might want to improve the instructions: he builds Lego Technik 14+ on his own!

On a juste ouvert les 2 premiers jours. Et c'est déjà waow !! Très apprécié par ma fille de 5 ans. Seul hic, les décorations ne sont pas une surprise. Toutes les instructions sont dans un même manuel. Donc on peut anticiper la deco du jour suivant. Chaque instrustion aurait pu être mise dans chaque boîte. Mais la fabrication demeure amusante

It is worth pointing out that there is a note inside the main box letting you know the additional items required for these crafts. Do read it before the 1st December! Although it says a hot glue gun, I had no intention of purchasing one of these and we have found a standard tube of UHU type clear glue is perfectly adequate. We had all the other items already. As other reviewers have said, the instruction book does show the items for each day, but you can choose not to look ahead as each craft finishes on a double page and it is more fun to have a surprise! My daughter just turned 8 and has managed to do many of these by herself. We didn't do the melting plastic beads - she actually decided to make something else with the beads. We have found this a brilliant afterschool activity and I am very likely to get her another one next year. I think it is fantastic!

This was a lot better than anticipated. My daughter did not want a chocolate advent calendar and we have had make up and Jewellery advent calendars in the past. As she has just come out of hospital and is not back to school this is fun and will give her a different craft to do each day. I was worried it would be too young for a 15 year old but it is really good and day one she is really looking forward to doing the 1st craft project.

It is a very neat calander with cool crafts but some are on the difficult side and require extra things they don't always give you. There are a few that require sewing, although they do give you to tools to do that. Overall its great, just more targeted for older kids.
