There are plenty of advent calendars to choose from, but I especially love the ones kids can keep enjoying long after they've opened the last door. Kids already love Magna-Tiles' colorful magnetic building sets—and so do our parenting pros. Now, the brand has restocked its first-ever advent calendar .
Each day, kids will open a door and get more pieces to build their train. The calendar provides 34 unique decorated pieces that'll help create Santa, a train, and even a conductor. It also includes a microChassis so kids can wheel their completed train around, which is sure to make this set a hit for the transportation-obsessed little ones in your life. Honestly, considering a typical 32-piece Magna-Tiles set costs around $50, getting this advent calendar for $40 feels like a great value.
The square and triangle pieces have been specially designed for this set and feature holiday motifs, like wreaths, candy canes, trees, and more. The back of the box has a flap that opens and doubles as a play mat. It includes printed tracks that kids can use to move their trains, which can be loaded with packages from the North Pole for pretend play.

All the pieces work with all of their existing magnetic tiles, so kids can incorporate them with their other builds. Also, most of these Magna-Tiles pieces flatten down when they aren't in use, which is key for parents who struggle with space.
And in case your kids aren't into Magna-Tiles, I've found a few other advent calendars that are designed for the littlest kids that'll make counting down the days to Christmas feel a little more special.
