Well, it’s the first day of December and the first day for advent calendars.
So just before bedtime tonight, we gave the children their Lego advent calendars to open box one…
The kids were very excited to see they each had a Lego advent calendar and couldn’t wait to find and open box number one!
The contents of each box were quite different – Lego Friends included a person and Lego City had a small bag of pieces that my son quickly assembled into two racing cars with remote controls (he spotted they were toys from Santa in the final picture!)
Both of them loved the set on the box for them to array their Lego pieces – especially the racing track for the two cars in Lego city. My daughter put her person together quickly but seemed to want more to do while watching her brother – it was a bit unequal between the two sets.
I was impressed to notice that instructions for making the mini set were included on the inside of the flap for box 1. Maybe it should have been expected that Lego would give instructions but I hadn’t even thought about that need!
So we’re all happy with the first part of these advent calendars, and are looking forward to day two…
Would you be ok with this as the first day?
Instructions, what are those? But it really was smart of them. And I love the idea of a Lego advent calendar. I’ve always gotten the calendars with chocolate, but my friends recently introduced me to a calendar with small plush animals. Now I just wish I knew of this! I must say that I’m jealous of your children.
Lol, I didn’t plan to make you jealous, Ali 🙂
I haven’t seen an advent calendar with plush toys – I think I’m happy with the Lego one as we certainly don’t need an extra 24 toys in the house!
Oh, look at that happy face! Christmas is so great for the little ones – so much so it’s almost worth all the unnecessary stress. Still less of a strain than Thanksgiving… 🙁 Ah, well perhaps I’ll invest in one of these for the tykes next year.
It is a great shot of her excitement, isn’t it 🙂
We don’t have Thanksgiving so I don’t have to deal with that strain – and Australia Day in January is not so seeped in tradition or work.
