Love This Advent Calendar
A friend recommended this a couple years ago and I was a little hesitant to buy - probably because of the cost. But I bought one this year and it is WORTH EVERY PENNY. I love doing an activity-based advent calendar, instead of candy - and my kids love running out to see what goodies they get today.
Some days, you just get a single crayon or marker and a coloring page (although the kids don't mind "just" getting this one bit) - and other days you get something bigger, like a 6-pack of paints.
Highly recommend!

looks good
I bought these a few weeks ago and we haven't started using them yet (need to start on December 1st) so I don't know how cool they are to open daily yet but they look really nice and we are excited to start using them!

Perfect for two very different granddaughters!
Our daughter and son-in-law made it very clear that our granddaughters do not need any more toys so we gave them these crafty countdown calendars! The children love them and use them. Our younger granddaughter is four and has autism but still wants to do what her big sister (7) does. Both girls enjoy and use these art supplies and project cards at the same time but in different ways. The parents are thrilled. (We don't post pictures of our granddaughters on the Internet)

Perfect tree and personalization
I bought this for my son and his wife's 2 children. They loved it! The children enjoyed putting a surprise ornament on the big tree! My son changed the ribbon like hook to white yarn because it was a bit difficult to wrap the ribbon-like around the red buttons. My son would buy this felt tree and felt ornaments again because it is beautiful, the kids loved it, and the price for was reasonable. My son's request was to I give this countdown calendar a GREAT REVIEW!

Great Even for Adults
I've always gotten my daughter an Advent calendar and this has continued into adulthood. Wanting something other than chocolates this year and knowing how she likes coloring and crafts, I got this for her and she LOVED it! Even her roommates did some projects, for example, coloring one of the three gift tags or making one of the clay Santa hat ornaments. She's asked for it again next year and says it is the best Advent calendar she has ever gotten!

Pretty fun!
Bought this for a 3.5 year old. She enjoys opening the calendar each day. Each day is perforated for easy of access, but she manages to sometimes rip into another day. It’s a little advanced for her coloring ability right now but she’s enjoying the next coloring and craft tools. Once you have the back opened to pull the activities it turns into an open flap, so that’s a minus. Otherwise would consider buying again for someone older than 4.

Great idea, but needs some 'tweeks'
I purchased 3 of these for the grandkids (ages:3,6,8). In all fairness, we have only done the first day's activity. Here is my take: LOVE that they have a different activity with a different Crayola tool to work with each day. However, this product could/should be made for different age groups. Day 1 activity (word search). Could/should be: pre-K-- font 16 with simple single-syllable words (i.e. 'bell') Words presented left to right only; and NO mixing up letters. K-3--font 14 includes single and double syllable words and no more than 7/8 words to find. Again, left to right only, no mixing up letters in the word. Upper elementary--font 12 with multi-syllabic words to find and upwards of 20 words. Words left-right/right-left/diagonal/backwards. The way this is set up now it was even difficult for the 8-year-old; and just curious, why the cluster of words in the upper left corner?

Best advent calendar so far!
I bought this for my 5 year old son this year and this has been his favorite advent calendar so far. We have done LEGO, paw patrol and matchbox cars advent calendars in previous years, but I much prefer adding some useful craft items to his collection than more toys!
We also love the extra bonus each day with the pages that can be used with the new tools! It’s like getting two surprises each day!

Awesome!
I bought 4 of these - one for each grandchild. They are so excited each morning to open the next door to see what is inside. I am impressed with what is behind each door. Paint, glitter glue, smelly markers, etc. etc. Then there is the added bonus of worksheets that are numbered the same as the doors for the kids to use their new crayola product each day. I am more than pleased with this!

Fun Product
I bought Count Down Calendars for my four grandchildren. They look forward to opening the window each morning and they really enjoy the daily activities. The only problem we had was the markers have a fragrance to them. It is a problem for kids with allergies. So I substituted the markers that they have allergies to with plain Crayola markers. I would buy these calendars again next year.

Great gifts that aren't chocolate for calendars!
My 7 year old granddaughter who does not like chocolate loved this calendar. She was always anxious each day to see what would come next and completed most all the activity sheets. She would even peak ahead if I didn't watch her closely. She is at my home Mon-Fri and would catchup on Sundays for the Saturday date. Nice variety of art projects: clay, crayons, markers, glue sticks.....

The best advent calendar
Most advent calendars are candy or socks, but this is so much better. It has an activity every day, so there's something to keep kids entertained on snowy inside days. It has been such a big hit. Every day my little one is excited to open the next day's activity. There's paint, markers, activities to make ornaments, cards...so much! I think we'll get this next year too!

Best kids gift ever!!
The Christmas Countdown Calendar was the best thing I purchased for my grandchildren ever. I had no idea what to expect, and I was blown away with its contents. My grandchildren can’t wait for each new day to open the little doors and see what it brings!! The added color sheets is truly a bonus!! You better believe I will be purchasing these calendars next year!

Looks like fun!
I got this a few weeks ago for my grandchildren. I pick them up every day after school and deliver them to their dad, so I always have activities or books to read. I figured we could do the countdown together, and since they're both into drawing and making little books, I thought they'd love some new Crayola products. Win, win!

Great advent calendar-even for teenagers
My nieces love this. They are teenagers, but still enjoy crafts. I wasn't sure if this would be too juvenile for them, but they love it. Something fun to do everyday. This has been a difficult year due to COVID, and school is mostly virtual. They have enjoyed having something to look forward to.

Lots of Fun
Got this because I saw it reviewed by NerdECrafter on YouTube. I'm glad I grabbed this for my 7 year old! We have been keeping up with the activities and there is loads of giggles and smiles while we work on these. There's a good variety of different activities and it seems well packaged.

Excellent Advent Calendar
I purchased this Christmas countdown calendar for my daughter and it has been her most favorite one she has had. She loves crafts and activities and has really enjoyed opening a new, fun one each day with this calendar, from word searches to ornament making, it has been a great choice!!

It's ok
I've never done a countdown calendar before. I thought I'd try it with my 2 1/2 year old. My initial thoughts are that I think it could be more creative. I'm on day 11 and have enjoyed the painting more than anything. I wouldn't buy for anyone or buy for myself again.

Interesting idea Advent Calendar
I received my order quickly. I opened the box to see the contents. I closed the box....never took the contents out....as Advent doesn’t begin until after Thanksgiving. I will hand out my Advent Calendars after the big turkey day then I can tell you about the contents!

So Much Fun!
I bought this for my 7 year old boy and it has been so much fun! He wakes up early and runs to open the next door. The activities and crafts are darling and he loves taking the time to complete them. He loves the variety. I absolutely recommend it and will buy it again!

Lots of fun!
I bought this for my daughter this Christmas so we are only on day 9 but each day she has looked so forward to making her craft! It has been a lot of fun and each day has been something very different. She is 7 and has been able to do each thing with very little help.

My daughter is 6 and loves art. This was perfect for her!! Each day is not only a “gift” but an art project or activity. She gets so excited to open her calendar every day. I highly recommend this for any child that likes art; this exceeded my expectations!!

Good choice for "half price" special
Had this kit sent to my 4-year-old granddaughter--out of state, so I didn't see it myself. But her Mom said that she loves the cute, daily activities. They are simple but fun for her. I got this on a half price special (under $20) so it was a good choice.

Great for young kids at Christmas
My seven year old enjoyed this but did eventually find the items to get repetitive. Mainly smelly markers crayons and some modeling clay bags. The small daily projects included were fun some more than others. Overall good especially for the price.

So creative and fun!!!!
I bought this for my 7 year old, who is a huge art fan. It is so different and adds such variety compared to other advent calendars out there. I wills definitely be purchasing her one every year if they continue to make them! Thank you Crayola!!!!

Awesome Advent Calendar
This was our first year for an Advent Calendar and J definitely made the right choice! This is the perfect gift for any budding artist or child who loves to color, draw, or craft! I love that these are items my son will use over and over again.
