Why we LOVE this product!
Most advent calendars give you something. This one teaches you something. By the end of the 12 days, a complete beginner has made four Woobles and four accessories by hand, and has learned a craft they can keep using long after the holidays.
We like how much thought goes into getting beginners started. The kits arrive pre-started, which is usually where new crocheters give up, and the videos come in right-handed and left-handed versions. The boxes turning into a little holiday scene is a lovely touch, too.
Two things to weigh: at $129.99 it's an investment, and it's a project calendar, not a quick daily surprise. A first Wooble can take a beginner a few hours. For a teen who's curious about crochet, or a family that wants a cozy December project, that's exactly the point.

The Woobles Here We Go A-Wooblin' Advent Calendar is a 12-day holiday countdown that teaches crochet one project at a time. Behind the doors are four full-sized Wooble kits, four accessory kits and a handful of collectibles. The kits are designed for complete beginners, and each one comes with step-by-step video tutorials.
What's inside
- 4 full-sized Wooble crochet kits
- 4 accessory kits
- 1 collector's crochet hook and 1 custom tin to keep it in
- 1 snow globe and 1 surprise collectible
- Easy Peasy yarn, a 4mm hook, stuffing and the small notions each kit needs
How it works
Open a door, unbox a kit and follow the video. The beginner kits arrive pre-started, which gets new crocheters past the hardest first step. The boxes double as pieces of a holiday scene, so the finished Woobles have somewhere to live. Every tutorial has right-handed and left-handed versions, with lifetime access and a downloadable PDF pattern.
What kids learn while they make
- A real lifelong skill: crochet basics, from holding the hook to finishing and stuffing
- Fine motor control: working small, even stitches with yarn and hook
- Patience and persistence: a complete beginner can expect 3 to 8 hours for their first kit
- Following instructions: matching each step in the video to the work in their hands
- Calm focus: repetitive stitching is a relaxing, screen-light hobby
Good to know before you buy
- Age: recommended for 12 and up. Younger kids with some craft experience may manage with help.
- 12 days, not 24: this is a 12-day countdown with bigger projects, not a small surprise every day.
- Time: each Wooble is an evening-sized project, so plan for crafting time across December.
- Price: $129.99 at Barnes & Noble, about the same as buying from The Woobles directly.
- When to order: to start on December 1, order by mid-November.
How it compares
- Vs. buying single Woobles kits: the calendar adds the collector's hook, tin, snow globe and surprise collectible, plus the countdown experience.
- Vs. a toy advent calendar: instead of small figures, kids finish with eight things they made themselves and the skills to keep going.
Who it's for
Teens and tweens who want to learn crochet, crafty adults, and families looking for a holiday project to do together.
