5.0 out of 5 stars A Holiday Must Have!! ~~WE LOVE THIS ! ~~, September 28, 2008

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I ordered this last year for my 4 year old son (who is now 5 1/2). I thought he'd like it, but wasn't sure what to expect. WOO HOO!! This was so much fun. It was definitely one of "those" toys, where you think to yourself, "This was one of the best $30.00 I've spent.". It's by no means cheap, but, honestly, watching my little guy's excitement every time he opened another door was a delight for me.

I incorporated counting, number recognition and the brain-teaser of finding the numbered door. The calendar layout is a scene of the Lego City. The numbered doors are scattered throughout the city, so your child has to hunt for the correct number. I also used this as a way to talk about our family's religious beliefs and what Christmas means to us. For someone like me, who loves the Christmas season, this was a joyful way to bring the holidays into our home all month long.

**Note: I recommend putting the calendar out of reach after each use. We found out, rather quickly, that the calendar's lure was irresistible. One is very likely to end up with doors poked open and prizes pilfered. For $30 I wanted the fun to last all month. :)

We have ordered the LEGO Christmas Calendar every year for at least 10 years, and have never been disappointed. My child is now 16, and still looks forward to opening and assemblying each day's packet! It wouldn't be Christmas without out LEGO Christmas Calendar!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Gift that Keeps on Giving, November 6, 2008

By	Laurenn Hinkle "NyCaribQueen" (New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

My son's birthday happens to be on the first of December, and this is the best birthday gift ever. It gives him almost a month of anticipation and excitement. He loves to search for the numbers and open the doors.

I got the 2007 calendar from Amazon last year for $20, so I was a bit disappointed to see the price so high this year. Maybe it was cheaper because I ordered and received it a couple of days late. It definitely is very expensive for the amount of pieces you get, but the value lies in the happiness and thrill your child gets each day as he opens the doors.

I definitely recommend!
