2021 Kid's Advent Calendar

One of the best ways to get a child into the holiday spirit is with an advent calendar. So far gone are the days when advent calendars were just filled with chocolates, though those are still delicious! Everyone from Play-Doh to LEGO, and Melissa & Doug make advent calendars for kids! Each of the advent calendars shared above (and below) are at various price points, most falling between $19.99 and $39.00. I picked up the Mini Brands Advent Calendar for Evie, hoping it’ll be a fun way to incorporate our Elf on the shelf as well as fun for her to use in her dollhouse later.

I think the idea of counting down the days until Christmas is enough to get anyone in the spirit! If you’re looking to put together your custom advent calendar, Pottery Barn Kids, Etsy, and Gathre make great options with oversized pockets for advent cards, small toys, and treats. The choice is yours!
