Many families enjoy the tradition of using an Advent Calendar during the month of December to count down to Christmas morning. The toy company Fisher-Price is so well known for providing children with fun and educational toys and now they have a nice variety of Advent Calendars for a family with young children to use in their tradition of Advent. Designed with the child in mind, these Advent calendars have pieces and themes that will appeal to children and make the counting fun and slightly educational, too.
You can find a calendar that is part of a set that they already play with like the Imaginext line or a soft fabric hanging calendar that can teach the religious Christmas story to a child. There is also a set that does not have the Nativity but a more commercial based theme to count down with. When it comes to a Fisher-Price advent calendar, there is something for every family’s needs.
