Advent calendars for children: making the wait for Christmas easier
Waiting for Christmas can be a real challenge for children. They can hardly wait for Christmas Eve to finally arrive and find presents under the Christmas tree. Advent calendars can help to make the wait easier for children.
When the first door is opened on December 1st, the joy is great. Day after day, a little bag can be opened and the time until Christmas flies by. The children often want to see what's in their calendar today as soon as they get up. When the children unwrap a new present every day, the parents are often happy too.
That's why Advent calendars are a must for many children and, incidentally, for some adults too at Christmas time.
From what age are advent calendars useful?
Basically, you can make and give Advent calendars for children of all ages. It is important that the contents of the 24 doors are adapted to the age of the child. For babies, for example, you can put pacifiers, socks or a small cuddly toy in the bags. Slightly older children enjoy toys, while teenagers prefer books or accessories. Advent calendars are therefore an excellent Christmas surprise for all children.
Buy an advent calendar or fill it yourself?
Christmas is fast approaching and you're wondering whether you should buy a ready-made calendar or make one yourself? Both options have advantages and disadvantages. We are big fans of filling Advent calendars ourselves.
This has the advantage that you can tailor the gifts to your child's preferences. If you put together an Advent calendar for girls, you can put exactly the surprises in the bags that will make your daughter happy. Be it Barbie dolls, Playmobil or animal figures.
With store-bought Advent calendars, you could run the risk that your child won't like some of the contents or that she already has them. An individually filled Advent calendar that mom and dad or godmother and godfather have put together themselves also shows your child how much it means to you.
You can even put personal messages or homemade vouchers in the calendar. This way, the 24 days until Christmas will pass quickly for your child.
