An advent calendar like no other (according to us).
Give them a memorable Christmas countdown, full of inventing, exploring and play, instead of filling them with chocolate. You can do that too if you like, though.
​
Inside each of the 24 advent bags is a unique activity carefully designed to initiate, invigorate, and inspire curious young minds. We’re passionate about getting children making, doing, playing, exploring and inventing (hence the name). Our dream is to spark a new interest, to challenge children to imagine and invent, to invigorate a new passion, to engage young minds with the inspiring world around them, to introduce children to new experiences, or to simply keep idle hands busy – that’s ok with us too!
(That's quite a large dream; it was, in fact, several dreams spread over several weeks during remote teaching in lockdown!)
CREATE
Creative projects
Packed full of craft activities carefully made to get young minds designing, creating and constructing innovative ideas.
Some children are mischievous little monsters, stuffing peculiar objects up their nostrils, leaving pet rodents fighting for their lives after accidentally treading on them, or bargaining with parents for additional pocket money merely for tidying away their own belongings*; others are little angels, gleefully inventing things, harmoniously interacting with their siblings, deeply enchanted and enriched by their Invent Calendars. The aforementioned, poor, innocent, children are quite possibly merely bored, no doubt desperate for an outlet for all their creativity and imagination.
Thankfully, The Invent Calendar provides just that.
*Ok, admittedly these are just some of the things we got up to when we were little and are in no way a reflection of your own child(ren)’s behaviours.
What is it?
An original and unrivalled advent calendar providing curious young minds with several new ways to play, explore and stretch their imagination. It’s a unique introduction to a broad range of activities including baking, seed-sowing, letter writing, clay modelling, clothing design, dice games and many more. With accompanying child-friendly instructions, The Invent Calendar encourages independent learning and stimulates creativity and innovation by challenging children to invent their own rules; endless imaginative adventures await!
