Wilko Blox Advent Calendar Review

It is almost time to begin the countdown to Christmas, the question is, have you got your advent calendar yet? With more and more on the market each year and the prices for many of them becoming quite expensive, it can be hard to seek out decent ones on a budget. Well look no more, especially if you've been eyeing up those Lego ones because the Wilko Blox advent calendar ticks all the boxes.

New and improved from last year, priced at a small £8, you can have some festive block building fun with this calendar. Complete with twenty four doors, there is something new to build for every day of the festive countdown, each coming in a separate plastic bag to open. Aimed at children aged five and upwards, it comes complete with an instruction booklet to help your kids to build their new sets independently if they wish.

What I like as a parent is what is displayed on the inside of the calendar. A beautiful scene of Santa's workshop with a part the can be laid out flat so when the figures included are built, your children can keep the magic going by creating their own scenes with what they've made each day, a story that gets more detailed the closer you get to Christmas. What do they really think Santa and his little helpers get up to in the North Pole?

Something else that makes this advent calendar good value for money is the fact that the blox are able to be fitted on other construction kits so it means the game play can continue long after Christmas has been and gone. And if they are looking for a little more inspiration then they can head on over to wilkoblox.com for ideas on what else they can build. With the skill level for the calendar set at what I'd describe as easy, it means it can be great for little hands to fine tune their motor skills.

Good quality and reasonably priced, from my point of view I'd have no problem paying for this calendar and I would happily recommend this advent countdown to anyone. So if you fancy having yourself a merry little elfmas why not order you wilko blox advent calendar today.
