It’s educational, but shhh—don’t tell the kids. They just think it’s super cool.✅ 24 hands-on activities✅ Glows = extra wow factor✅ Educational and fun (teacher-approved!)✅ Kept my kids entertained without screen time 👏If you're looking to add some chemical reaction to your holiday excitement, this advent calendar is pure Christmas magic in a box.

Such a great activity - especially for the price! Our 4 year old daughter loves opening a new a lot every day to find the activity or item. It would be awesome for a gift for a boy or girl!

The media could not be loaded. I got this for myself, I'm a 34 year old adult :)I saw it on sale for $9 bucks on Black Friday and wish I had grabbed a couple because it's a steal- even at the full price.I'm not a paid reviewer (maybe one day?) I just was really pleased and surprised by this! I want you to get this for your kiddo or yourself if you're pondering because I really think it's worth it. At the time of this review it's listed for about $16 last I looked.I love glow in the dark, I love space theme and I love dinos, I really enjoy hands on activities too and this had everything. At first glance I thought I was just getting little glow figures, which I thought "Okay sick 24 little glow figures to place around my room or add with gifts for friends etc." but it ended up being way cooler!If you don't want spoilers for what's inside then stop reading here.I loved that this was a really unique advent calendar and I honestly wish more were like this!!I got several glow figures, 3 space themed sun catchers to paint with glowing paints, 4 rocks with paints and dino stencils to decorate them with, an invisible ink marker that came with a little uv light to read the messages, And TWO bouncy ball molds with the powder mix to make them. Oh and a crystal which was maybe the most disappointing part as it just is a rough cut with a tiny plastic stand but honestly the quality of this whole product was very impressive.The packaging was well made and designed all the compartments are fully separated and the punch out parts are firm but easy to open.I didn't end up using this as an advent because it was just a cheap treat to myself and my inner child and I was really curious to know what I got for the price so I opened the whole thing and had such joy doing so.Just had to come make a review because I want other people to know how cool it was and so that this company does well and keeps making them !!Can we get year round goal oriented advents? Whoever put this together, bravo, get a raise🙌

My son loves things like this. I thought they would be perfect for him for advent but we didn't wait that long. There are no missing pieces. The size is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Some of the pieces seem a little generic but I kind of expected that. Age range, I'd say it's probably definitely for 10 and under. Overall it's a cute idea and worth the very low sale price that I purchased it for.

Bought for my daughter last December and it was a big hit!! She couldn’t wait to get home from school each day to open her next window. Sometimes she even woke up early to do it before school! She would spend time learning the tricks and loved to show them off to people. It was very entertaining! This was such a great gift for a great price. I love advent calendars but don’t always want to give candy so this is perfect.

Forget the North Pole—our house turned into a mini science lab this December. My 9-year-old is now a self-proclaimed 'rock expert' who confidently told me my diamond ring is 'probably quartz.' Each day brought a new science experiment or gemstone, and by Day 8, I was Googling things like 'how to get baking soda volcano out of curtains.' Day 17 introduced some kind of glowing rock, which my kid now insists is proof we have alien neighbors. By Day 24, they were lecturing the dog about sedimentary layers.This advent calendar is a hilarious blend of chaos, curiosity, and discovering your kid is smarter than you. Highly recommend, but maybe invest in a shop vac and some safety goggles first.

Loved this product! My daughter loved the magic tricks and the experiments actually worked and were really fun to do! Would recommend this to anyone with kids!

This was such a fun advent calendar!! We loved how it was an activity every day to open, and not just a a little trinket that would get thrown in the trash. The science experiments were all successful and a lot of fun! Some of the magic tricks are difficult, so even older kids would enjoy this calendar.
