With immense care and love, Grapat has again designed the most wonderful, joy-sparking Advent Calendar and delivered it to our Australian shores, all in time for Christmas 2024.Grapat always creates special toys - you can see the thought and love that goes into each one - but the annual Grapat Advent Calendar is a particularly lovely example of this. 

Your child will delight in opening their Advent Calendar box for the first time to discover the 24 precious little boxes inside. Each contains something very special - a tiny flower press in one, a fire nin in the next, little bowls to set the table for your nin family in another, then bunny rabbits, then spinning tops. 

Some of the toys might seem familiar but each has something unique to the Advent Calendar, such as colour or painted detail. Not every box contains a wooden toy, some boxes contain simple raw materials for craft or play or even a simple idea. The boxes include prompts inviting your child to engage with what's inside and with their family, a craft, or nature. 

The Calendar also comes with a booklet full of hands-on authentic, creative activities to bring you together, connecting children to their family and community throughout the festive period. Your child might be prompted to think of others by writing a message and crafting a simple gift, or by baking little treats to share with neighbours.

The Advent Calendar is ultimately about bringing people together, thinking of others, appreciating the beauty of nature, and feeling the true spirit of Christmas. A calendar without boundaries waits patiently, each day a blank page ready to be filled with experiences, but also willing to be observed or let go, without rush and with plenty of time to enjoy them all year long.

Grapat will walk you through the four kingdoms: mineral, plant, animal, and human, while we patiently wait for Christmas and create some nice memories with our family and connect with the ones who are a shelter to us. An ode to your home, whatever its shape, in the company of those we choose as family, with whom we will share unforgettable moments without judgment or pressure.

More than 150 pieces in different materials: wood, fabric, threads, wool, and much more. The box also includes a book with invitations to play, craft and share time together. In the box you can also find an original cardboard circle to be used as a display of the pieces once the boxes are opened day by day.
