We love the cheerfully retro illustrations in this treasury of Advent activities for the family to enjoy together. The laminated cardboard cover is itself an Advent calendar, with pictures behind each door that relate to the fun inside. The activities range from gifts to decorative crafts to cooking, with plenty of Christmas tales, games, songs, and celebrations throughout. Learn about Christmas traditions all over the world, and savor the goodness of the season with recipes like Wreath Cookies and Candied Cinnamon Pears.
