Introduce young children to the thrill of the holiday countdown with HABA’s My First Advent Calendar – Farmyard Animals. Designed for ages 2 and up, this calendar features 24 numbered doors, behind each of which is a lovingly crafted wooden farm‑animal figure and a short chapter in the story of Theo the Raven and his efforts to help the farm animals get ready for Christmas.

When opened each day, the doors reveal new figures that children can place on the fold‑out winter farm backdrop—turning the countdown into tactile play, storytelling and displayable results. The wooden pieces encourage fine‑motor skills, object permanence, and imaginative play. Because the calendar uses quality materials (“Made in Germany” wood toy tradition) and is built for reuse, it becomes a meaningful piece of holiday tradition that can be used year after year.

Rather than just candy or trinkets, this calendar emphasizes learning through making and playing—building responsibility (placing one piece per day), anticipation (one reveal each day) and creative play (arranging the animals). Whether used at home or in a preschool setting, it offers a child‑friendly, developmentally appropriate holiday experience.
