Grapat Advent Calendar Wooden Toys & Crafts - Limited Edition 2023

The Grapat Advent Calendar set includes 24 beautifully decorated reusable cardboard boxes each holding a special limited edition surprise, and a guidebook to play, traditions and crafts on each day of Advent. 

With a special seasonal wooden toy, craft or play inspiration for every day of Advent, this year's limited edition 2023 Grapat Advent Calendar is inspired by Grapat family traditions from around the world. Working together with 11 creative women (and mums!) from different countries, Grapat has produced a truly magical Advent Calendar filled with Christmas ideas, traditions and inspiration from around the world. Each box contains a Christmas craft, play idea, or open-ended wooden toy made by Grapat, and is completely plastic free. The beautifully decorated numbered boxes can be brought out each Advent and be reused, either with Grapat toys or get creative with your own ideas and games. Line them up on a shelf or window sill as part of your festive display. The perfect antidote to the fast-paced rush of the festive period, the Grapat Advent Calendar inspires us all to slow down, relax and enjoy the smaller magical moments together.
