Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar and how it works

Legos advent calendar is the same as all advent calendars. The lego pieces are divided between 24 sealed windows, one for each day before Christmas. Every day your child can open up a new window and get a new Star Wars-themed Lego model.

Most of the models are extremely easy to assemble, or are already assembled, so no instructions are necessary. There’s simply a small image of the finished model on the inside of the window once your child has opened it up.

When your child has opened up all 24 windows they’ll have an excellent collection of Star Wars-themed Lego models and figures to play with. These will take them well beyond Christmas, and can be added to their existing Lego collection.

 

Is the Lego Advent Calendar a good gift for kids?

This product costs around $40-$50, this is going to cost a little more than your standard advent calendar. However, as all parents who have bought Lego before will realize, this is actually good value for a themed set that’ll provide models that last way beyond the advent period.

Remember, Lego comes with many small parts that present a choking hazard, so isn’t suitable for children under three years of age. The manufacturer recommends this toy for any kids aged between 3 and 14, but in truth it’ll appeal to anyone who likes Lego. These sets are very collectible, and there may even be an adult in your life who would enjoy receiving this as a special pre-Christmas gift!

Anyone who knows Lego already knows the quality of their product. You can’t really go wrong with the Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar, as long as you know your child likes to play with this kind of toy. It’s good value and will provide your child with something new and fun to look forward to every single day before Christmas!

They’ve made the transition from being  the computerized characters to real-world, physical toys. One of the hottest kids toys this holiday season will be the Moshi Monster Moshlings 3-pack.

Moshi Monsters – What are they?

Moshi Monsters have existed for a number of years. Kids can adopt these pets and take care of them via their website, in a safe social networking environment. To take care of their monsters, children need to solve puzzles to earn more of the monster currency. They will spend this on food, toys and treats for their monster.

The premium Moshi Monsters online membership costs around $6 a month, but your child will get 3 days free access with this Moshlings pack. The free membership is a bonus given how cheap the 3-pack is, but it could also be a drawback once your child sees what’s included and begs you to pay out month after month!

Some Moshlings are more rare than other – kids will usually trade these with friends in an effort to complete their set, which is fun all in itself.
