Brick Advent Calendar – A door in the morning and a new build on the table

Behind the 24 doors sit 31 separate mini builds, five minifigures and eight fantasy creatures. Each door takes a few minutes to build, from tiny haunted houses to odd little beasts. By the end of the month there is a whole scene on the shelf.

Why choose this advent calendar?

Counting down is better with something to make rather than something to eat. The builds are small enough for a weekday morning and interesting enough to sit down together over. Once the month is done, it is all still usable as a toy.

• 31 mini builds: a different subject every day, with no two the same
• 24 numbered doors: the box keeps the order, so nobody has to go looking
• Five figures and eight creatures: the builds get inhabitants and the scene grows as you go
• Firm ABS bricks: clicks together tightly and still does after the first rebuild
• Standard brick sizing: fits the bricks that are probably already in the house

Separate doors turn into one scene that stays on the shelf all month.

The box measures 43.5 x 27 x 6 cm and closes again afterward as storage for the loose parts. The builds suit children past the age of putting everything in their mouths. Shake the empty box out after a build and the stray bricks turn up.
