Brick Advent Calendar: Build a New Ornament Every Day
A brick advent calendar swaps the daily chocolate for a small build. Our 24-Day Christmas Brick Ornament Advent Calendar hides a mini ornament behind each door, so the countdown to Christmas becomes a daily activity for kids and adults.
What you get with the 24-day calendar
The 24-Day Christmas Brick Ornament Advent Calendar has one door for each day of the countdown. Behind every door is a small brick-built Christmas ornament waiting to be assembled.
Instead of eating something and moving on, you end up with a finished piece each day. By December 24 you have a whole collection of festive builds that you made yourself.
Because each build is small, it fits into a short daily routine, such as after breakfast or before bedtime.
Who this calendar suits
It works well for children who enjoy building and for adults who like a calm creative break. It also suits families who want to open the doors together and take turns assembling each piece.
If you are buying for a gift, think about whether the person already likes construction toys or crafts. Someone who enjoys putting things together will probably get the most out of it.
Younger children may want a grown-up nearby to help with small pieces, so check that the build style fits the age and skill of the builder.
How to use the finished ornaments
The finished pieces can be used to decorate your home during the holidays. Many people hang ornaments on a Christmas tree, while others line them up on a shelf, a mantel or a windowsill.
You can also add them gradually as the days pass, so the tree fills up as December goes on. That makes the countdown visible: the more ornaments on display, the closer Christmas is.
If you prefer to keep things tidy, a small box or tray helps you store the completed builds until you are ready to place them.
Tips before you order
Plan to start on December 1 so each door matches its date. Choose a flat, well-lit spot for building, and keep a small dish nearby for loose pieces.
If you want to give the calendar as a gift, present it before the first of December so the recipient can set it up in time.
