Little People, BIG DREAMS: Advent Calendar Review
Christmas with Little People, BIG DREAMS: Advent Calendar – A Festive Must-Have
Our family absolutely loves the Little People, BIG DREAMS series, so when we discovered the advent calendar, we couldn’t wait to get it. With two children aged 5 and 7, we are always on the lookout for fun and educational ways to build up to Christmas – and this calendar does exactly that.
A fun advent calendar countdown to Christmas
Instead of the usual chocolates, this advent calendar offers something much more meaningful. Behind each door, you’ll find a mini book highlighting the life of an inspiring figure. From Elton John to Frida Kahlo, the selection is fantastic. The mini books are the perfect size for little hands and are filled with colourful illustrations and simple, engaging stories.
Inspiring role models
What we love most is how this advent calendar introduces our kids to real-life role models. Every morning, they eagerly open the next door to learn about someone new. It’s heartwarming to see how inspired they are by the stories of musicians, artists, and changemakers. It’s sparked some brilliant conversations at the breakfast table about creativity, perseverance, and dreaming big.
A gift that keeps on giving
At £21.99, this advent calendar is not the cheapest, but we feel it’s worth every penny. You get 24 beautifully crafted mini books, each of which could be a little keepsake. The quality of the books is excellent, and our children love returning to their favourite stories even after Christmas.
Perfect for young readers
Our 5-year-old enjoys having the stories read to her, while our 7-year-old likes reading them independently. The language is simple enough for early readers but still captivating. As a bonus, it’s a great way to encourage reading during the busy festive season.
A magical start to Christmas
If your family enjoys Little People, BIG DREAMS, this advent calendar makes the perfect early Christmas gift. It turns the countdown to Christmas into a journey of discovery and inspiration. It’s a wonderful tradition we’ll definitely be repeating next year. We can’t recommend it enough! Buy online: Quarto
