Christmas Find and Color

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the bustling pages of this unique activity book. Kids can look forward to the coming holiday by spotting the hidden objects and characters in 20 joyfully chaotic pictures of Santa’s workshop, the North Pole mailroom, a busy toy store, a Christmas castle, and other seasonal locales. After solving the puzzles (solutions appear at the end), children can color each page. Great idea for a stocking stuffer!

Old-Time Christmas Village Sticker Advent Calendar

With this charming advent calendar, children can start getting ready for Christmas on December 1. Each day, they add a numbered sticker illustration to a lovely backdrop of a Victorian-era village shown on the inside front and back covers.
