When I was a child Advent Calendars only came in one variety – the chocolate kind purchased at the grocery store. You can still find simple chocolate advent calendars at the supermarket – but I have to admit, I kind of love being able to skip the sugar and get my kids excited about fun toys, collectibles and books each December morning!
With five kids to buy for I spend a lot of time looking at advent calendars, and I’ve used that time to come up with a list of 24 amazing Advent Calendars for the 2019 holiday season!
From licensed toys and board books to collectibles and art supplies, here are some of the most exciting 2019 Advent Calendars for kids!
