LEGO Advent Calendar

Advent calendars are a traditional way to enjoy the time from Dec 1st to 24th as Christmas approaches. They have a little door or window to open for each day, with a surprise behind it. When I was small, the surprise was just a picture, but nowadays you find little gifts behind those exciting windows. And what better than LEGO to get a little dose of every day until Christmas, in the form of the LEGO City Advent Calendar (7687)

If your child already loves LEGO then you'll need no persuading - this is right at the top of the Christmas gift ideas that your whole family will love as part of your holiday tradition. If yours is not yet a LEGO family then the LEGO Advent Calendar is a wonderful introduction, with a collection of small, easy-to assemble kits and mini-people to go along with them.
