I love this advent calendar because the pictures are beautiful and it tells the Christmas Story in text as well. Definitely a good one!My only problem is that the doors rip off easily if you are not careful.Minor problem.
We will do out best to keep and re-use this one next year, because the images are so beautiful. Each window opens (in order, so they're not hard to find), sharing the story of the Christmas Narrative.It doesn't give a bunch of small biblical quotes that point towards Christmas, but tells one long story, beginning with Caesar Augustus demanding the whole world to be taxed. That very sentence takes about 4 windows to complete, but the next window is a complete sentence of its own.The pictures in each window are gorgeously vivid (and we're barely half way through), little worlds all to themselves - just the way an Advent calendar ought to be!It certainly helps keep "The Reason for the season" in perspective. And I don't think it's going to mention or show Jesus until the 24th (we've had a dozen over the years that mention Jesus by day 5, showing him already in the manger, which is kind of missing the point!)
These get a lot if use at out house. After years if use our last one wore out. This one arrived promptly after ordering and in perfect condition. I added a heavy piece of cardboard to to back of it for sturdiness hoping to help it survive the years of constant Christmas use it will get. Beautiful pictures, nice and child friendly story, plus it looks nice wherever you hang it.
This paper 11 x 14 calendar reminds me of the kind we had as kids and that you can't seem to find in stores anymore. There are 24 paper window flaps that you open; one for each day, and there is a picture and part of the Bible story under each flap. This is affordable and pretty. Recommended.
I wasn't impressed with this advent calendar. Some of the days had only a couple of words to go with them rather than each day having a verse or something substantial. Also a little flimsy for use with kids.
I had looked for Advent calendars in local stores. All I found were tied to kids movie or storybook characters. This one, though, is exactly what I wanted. Beautiful picture. Nice size.
I bought this to begin advent to my preschooler and toddler and by Christmas they just about had the story of Jesus' birth memorized! I love it, so glad I found this!
Got this for my 4-1/2 year old grandson and he enjoys the simple window-type formatthat tells the Christmas story.
