There are four floors and eight rooms, which saw our mini testers storytelling for hours, with obligatory bickering about which room the micro Christmas tree should go in. Extra accessories like mini cupcakes, sunglasses and even a dummy and bottle for Baby Annabell makes opening this advent calendar truly wonderful for the most magical time of the year.

Little Brian is a parent’s dream product – no more messy painting sessions with your mini artists, thanks to its paint sticks: water soluble, child-friendly solid paint that twists up and down just like a glue stick.

The last page features a gift tag design with a Christmas message for the little one - making it a really special advent present for a baby's first Christmas.Given the size of the bracelet – although you can make it tighter by using the links – we’d suggest this for eight years plus.
