Description
xA wooden, magnetic Christmas tree advent calendar with 24 numbered ornaments and a star, designed for daily holiday countdowns and repeated hands-on play.
This Melissa & Doug set turns the days leading to Christmas into a tactile, screen-free tradition. A freestanding wooden tree accepts bright magnetic ornaments that slot into numbered outlines, while an attached box at the base stores pieces when not in use. The kit combines durable wooden construction with simple open-ended play so children can follow the countdown or invent their own decorating rituals.
How does this calendar create a daily holiday ritual?
Each day, a child adds one numbered ornament to the tree, building a visual countdown to December 25. The numbered outlines give structure, and the removable magnets let kids rearrange ornaments whenever they like, extending play beyond the countdown.
- 24 different wooden magnetic ornaments plus one star for Christmas Day
- Numbered outlines on the tree to guide daily placement
- Magnets allow moving, switching, and custom arrangements
What features make this durable and easy to store?
The tree and ornaments are crafted from wood for long-lasting use and a classic aesthetic. A built-in wooden storage box attached to the tree’s base keeps all pieces together, reducing lost parts and simplifying clean-up after playtime.
- Sturdy wooden tree and ornaments resist everyday handling
- Attached box stores all 25 magnetic pieces neatly
- Compact design fits on shelves, mantels, or tabletop displays
Can this be used for creative play beyond counting days?
Absolutely — the magnetic pieces invite imaginative decorating and storytelling. Children can mix ornaments to create new color patterns, invent names for pieces, or stage small scenes, making the set useful all holiday season long.
- Magnets support open-ended arranging and redecorating
- Bright, varied ornament shapes encourage storytelling and role play
- Works as a coordinated holiday prop for other toys and displays
What additional touches does the set include for family moments?
The back of the calendar features a short holiday poem that encourages a read-aloud tradition, turning ornament placement into a shared family ritual. That small script helps spark conversation and makes the countdown feel intentional and cozy.
- Holiday poem printed on the back for daily reading
- Simple, child-friendly visuals that suit group or solo play
