Advent Calendar to Colour Calendar – Advent Calendar, 1 Sept. 2015

I am excited to share the Christmas countdown with my niece this year, I look forward to sharing each days colouring with her, and to see what each window we will be colouring. I love the fact also that it will be a keepsake for each year, if the colouring is of a good enough standard.I love Usborne books, have purchased several in the past and look forward to purchasing more in the future, as I especially love this colouring book series.

This is a beautifully designed, and very unusual, advent calendar. It is in the format of a book and the covers unfold. Open the book in the middle and you get two pages – the one of the left has a place for your child to write their name, along with a pattern of little robins, holly and flowers. On the right, there is a pretty Christmas tree, with snow falling. Both of these scenes can be coloured.If you open both these pages, then you reveal the complete, four page (these pages are card and will last well) design; complete with windows to open. You have a busy street, complete with shops and lots of mice, busily getting ready for Christmas. There are cafes, shops, presents, trees, buildings, shoppers and even a mouse Santa delivering a parcel! If you open the numbered doors, you get a picture – so, for example, the first window has a picture of an elf and a sack of presents. Part of the picture inside is coloured, part is blank and there is also the whole street scene to colour in.I have brought copies of this for my daughter, nieces and my god-daughter. So pretty and much nicer than the versions with chocolates in. This is something your child will love doing and which they can keep.

this went down so well with one of my granddaughterskept her busy

Bought as gift and was very impressed by quality and concept of design. It will entertain any child who loves colouring and is intricate enough for older children too. Beautifully presented to keep and reuse for years and years.

This is the 2nd time I have purchased this advent calendar for me and the kids to use.

Good quality bookGood serviceThank you

Brilliant sturdy advent calendar. My daughters birthday is 25 March so we use an advent calendar for the count down. This one isn't too Christmassy and could easily be reused. So happy with it.

As expected
