The countdown is the celebration. Our advent calendars for kids turn December into twenty-four little parties, each door hiding a toy, a charm, or a sweet surprise worth the wait, from Meri Meri, Ladurée, Mon Ami, and beyond.
Choose a toy advent calendar for the builders and collectors, a gentle advent calendar for toddlers discovering the season, or a charm bracelet countdown for the one who loves a little sparkle. Embroidered nutcrackers, keepsake villages, and dog lovers' suitcases filled with wooden toys are the kind of calendars a family unboxes for years.
Reusable keepsake calendars can be refilled with treats and notes each December, turning the countdown into a tradition. Pair these with our Christmas party decorations to deck the rest of the house.
Advent calendars traditionally start on December 1 and count down to Christmas, with a door, treat, or surprise for each day. Some reusable or keepsake calendars can be filled however you like, so you can start on December 1 or adjust the countdown to suit your family.
Advent calendars range from chocolate and treat styles to toy and activity calendars for kids, charm and keepsake calendars, and reusable fabric or wooden designs you fill yourself. Choose by recipient: little ones love a daily toy, while collectors treasure a keepsake they unbox every year.
Good kids' advent calendars hide a small toy, charm, or activity behind each door rather than just candy. Reusable keepsake calendars are especially popular because you can refill them with treats and notes each year as a family tradition.
