I got this advent calendar for my 4 year old daughter and every morning when she woke up the first thing she wanted to do was to lift the flap and see what was inside. It was also great because we did a little math with it to figure out how many days were left until Christmas. Each door holds an ornament to place on the pop-up tree...adorable!

Bought 2 of these, one for our household and one for my sister-in-law. We both love them. My sis-in-law is using for a centerpiece on her dining room table. It is a really beautiful, artsy piece, and all of our kids enjoy the daily ritual of what is behind each number and helps them to count down the days until Christmas. Sometimes the items are even "gifts" to go into the pop up presents under the tree. My kids can't wait until the last day as the numbers are very large and they are guessing as to what is behind that one. Very nice and beautiful way to count down to Christmas.

Oh my gosh! We haven't used this calendar yet but just opening it up and looking inside is just as beautiful as the "Dream Snow" book! We can't wait to decorate the tree inside!

I love this advent calendar and so did my daughter. You open the folio to expose a pop-up of a brightly colored tree with presents and a big santa. Each day has a special ornament that you hang on the tree - some ornaments are to be put in the pop-up present boxes. I enjoy Eric Carle's stories and art, so this was a perfect match. I get tired of advent calendars that deal with food or just have some text to read behind the doors. My daughter couldn't wait to see what ornament was next. I saved it to do it again next year.

My 3-year-old loves this advent calendar, and so do we. It is lovely and well-designed. The pop-up pieces are delicate but also sturdy enough so that they stand on their own and a small child can manipulate them without ripping. We started on day 11 (oops) and my daughter was able to successfully punch out all of the ornaments, although she needed my help to hang them on the tree. We have not read the story that goes along with this calendar, and it's certainly not necessary to enjoy the calendar, but now I'm inspired to go buy it.

I bought this calendar for my 3 year old son and he loved it. He really liked the idea that each day he got to put another decoration on the tree. My only wish was that there was an easy way to re-use it other years. I have saved all the little decorations/gifts and will just figure out how to put them in their little numbers next year. The calendar is of great quality and looks so cute.

I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon and have never written a review but this is a must to share with children! This is a FABULOUS advent calendar! Pop-up display is beautiful..have never seen a 3D advent calendar. Each day a new door reveals either an ornament to place on the calendar or a gift to put in a 3D gift box under the tree. I'm buying a few more now post-Christmas so we can use in years to come.

I liked that it was a non-food/ chocolate calendar and it was very pretty. My 4 yo dtr was excited to open it every day!

This pop up advent calendar is so easy to put together and start using. Just open and unfold. My 3 year old boy just loved the idea of opening a square to find a small ornament inside. You can attach the little ornament to your Christmas tree or place it in one of the 3D boxes on the calendar. He is just itching to open another date square. Now the challenge is teaching him to be patient and open just one square a day. This is well worth the money. It's fun, compact, and with extra care you can use it again the next year.

We are three days into using this calendar, and my 3-year old just loves it. It is well made, very creative, colorful, and fun. The advent calendar is a pop-up one, and each day when children lift the flaps on the day, they get a little ornament (colorful and made of paper) to hang on the pop-up tree. The 25th day presents a star to go on the top of the tree. What a terrific idea! Note that you will need a fairly good sized flat surface to place this calendar on for a month, so if you have a small living space this may not be the right option for you. Otherwise, I recommend it highly.
