Toy Advent Calendars for Kids

Toy Advent Calendars are a fun way to build on your kids excitement about Christmas each year.

There are so many to choose from, and with everything from LEGO to Monster High and Minions, you will surely find one of your child’s favorites to help them count down to the big day!

I had no idea that there were Toy Advent Calendars available until just a few weeks ago when I caught my daughter watching a series of videos on Youtube where they were opening up the daily surprise from 3 different Toy Advent Calendars. So I went searching on Amazon.com and was blown away by the many different toy themes you can find in an advent calendar!

In the past we have gotten cheap ones from local stores that had chocolates in each window, but half the time I couldn’t comfortably let her each the chocolate – it looked kind of old and not appealing at all.

Finding that I can pick up an advent calendar with toys in it?! Such a relief that I won’t have to disappoint her with the “Oh! – baby you can’t eat that…” again this year. So, without further ado, scroll on to find an awesome looking Toy Advent Calendar to get for your family to enjoy this coming December!
