About this workbook

A drawing advent calendar for kids aged 4 to 10. Instead of a chocolate behind each door, every day from December 1 to 24 opens a new drawing challenge, from a frosty front door and a sneaky elf to a turbo sleigh and Santa flying across the moon.

Before the countdown starts, children read the story of advent calendars, discover fun facts about the world’s wildest ones and learn why waiting makes each door feel more exciting. Three simple projects show how to build their own drawing advent calendar at home.

What’s inside

  1. 1

    The story of advent calendars

    From chalk lines on the door in the 1850s to the first printed calendar with little doors in 1908.

  2. 2

    Fast facts

    The town hall in Germany that becomes the world’s biggest advent calendar, calendars for pets, living advent calendars and more.

  3. 3

    The secret science of waiting

    Why opening one door a day feels better than opening them all at once.

  4. 4

    Make your own drawing advent calendar

    Three projects: a 24-square grid poster, a secret envelope garland and a matchbox tower.

  5. 5

    24 daily drawing challenges

    One dated page for each day from December 1 to 24, with a big box to draw in and space to name the drawing, its favourite colour and the sound it would make.

  6. 6

    Sources and further reading

    Where the facts come from, for curious grown-ups.
