Christmas 3-D Advent Calendar - The Night Before Xmas - 24 Hidden Doors and Surprises for The Countdown to Christmas

We just opened this today to count down to xmas. We struggled to keep it propped open until we discovered (accidentally) that the "wall" behind the table folds backward to prop the whole thing open (you can see this in the photo on the back, but there are no instructions to actually tell you to do it). With the prop in place, it does stand up pretty well. I'd give it five stars if it had instructions and if it were a bit more sturdy - but it's super cute and I'm optimistic that it will hold up until the 25th : )

This advent calendar is adorable, so much fun to look at, so many fun details in the house. I generally love doll houses and this is just the cutest cardboard doll house that is also an advent calendar. As other reviewers have stated it does not stay open but that didn't really matter to me. I will display this calendar every Christmas.

This a was a Christmas gift for a 5 year old girl, in the hopes that it could be used every Christmas for a few years. It is like a paper doll house without dolls, but little doors you can open.I looked at several advent calendars, mostly with chocolates, but one thing they had in common wasit was very hard to read the dates 1-24 on the paper windows.This one was much easier, and has little pictures behind, so lasts.

The sisters I got this Advent Calendar for love it. They are 9 and 10 and I usually get them one where you just open the window for the day. But this one is a little more complicated. You have to look for the day and then put it together. They loved it.

The calendar itself was really pretty and the artwork quite good. Sadly, one window was completely sealed shut and when pried open the picture underneath came with it. Also, it was missing a pop up section that had a window on it, so I had to send it back. What a shame because it was one of the nicer advent calendars out there. If you get one that isn't flawed, it would be a great Christmas gift.

This is a beautiful advent calendar. I bought it for young grandkids, but it is too delicate for them

Gorgeous & detailed! Brace in 3 places to keep open - bend back the wall behind table; bend fwd the two doors in the center (into tabs in the floor), and bend fwd the drape on the back wall.It’s really lovely and fun, the drawings printed on both sides so it’s very 3D, and some numbers just hard enough to find to make it a challenge. My 12yo loves it. I’m grateful to the reviewer who mentioned the trick to bracing it ;)

Takes up a lot of space. Does not stand well with out some kind of brace. Better to hang and use piece of thread to keep from sagging -this worked best.
