Nothing beats a classic advent calendar with a little chocolate hiding behind each door. Although some may argue that a true classic would be the beautiful paper ones with a picture from the nativity. Then there’s also the option to use something like this<\/a> and make your own. All of these are wonderful things to have around the home during the run-up to Christmas. However, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t a place for the more extravagant calendars that we see popping up these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today is all about advent calendars for toddlers. There are so many around this year with but these are the ones that have caught my eye for Christmas 2021. I haven’t included any chocolate ones because they’re just so easy to find and I’m keen to share something a little different here on PGT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please double check the age guidance or each advent calendar.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
