I received this advent calendar as a gift and enjoyed using it this Advent season. Both I and my sister, who is quite younger than I am, enjoyed using it, so it is great for all ages. It is exciting to see the village grow each day. The stickers are made well, and blend into the beautifully detailed background perfectly. After Christmas was over, it was easy to peel the stickers off to put them back on the sticker sheet to use for next year. My only slight complaint is that some of the stickers go across the crease of the background, and will get bent if you don't keep the background open all the time. But the scene is so pretty that you probably wouldn't want to close it anyway.

I sent this calendar to my daughter & grandson without a really good idea what it was like, since there is only one little picture of it online. Later I saw it at their house, and participated in selecting the sticker of the day. As I had hoped, the "village" was empty of anything but snow and the bare outline of each house. My 3-year-old grandson was very successful at putting each sticker within its outline, and took great satisfaction in doing so.

We have had this advent calendar for 4 years, and it is a favorite in our household. The stickers are on a separate sheet with numbers on it, and the village buildings are outlined on the main card. It opens up and gives you a beautiful scene to work with. We have placed the stickers carefully back on the sheet each year to re-use it, and this year it finally gave out.
I am back to buy another one.
Thanks!

This is a really nice advent calendar. My 2 1/2 yr old loved sticking a new house on every morning as we counted down the days to Christmas. I loved the beautiful, yet simple illustrations. I think it really allows your imagination to run wild. I tried peeling up the stickers to reuse next year but the adhesive took the lamination off the picture (so they are no longer sticky). Ah, well... it was fun while it lasted!

My 2-year old loved doing this advent calendar. It has stickers, which is a big plus. Our village ended up looking a deal more crooked though. :)

Some reviews said they were able to re-use it year after year. I tried peeling the stickers back off, but out of the first 3 2 split and left their sticky side behind, so I threw it away. I don't really mind though, when I was a child I had a different one each year, it was part of the fun.

My 2 year old loves this calander. He doesn't count and I didn't want to give him chocolate right before bed. This is a nice alternative. The stickers can easily be moved once they are stuck, but I like to keep them crooked. He loves seeing the town appearing over time.
