Come the holidays, everyone should have an advent calendar to make the Christmas countdown more magical—including the smallest members of your family. But when you're shopping for toddlers, all those tiny trinkets can be a concern.
That’s why our parenting pros are always raving about Fisher Price Little People for toddlers. “Toddlers love Little People because the size is just right,” says Marisa LaScala, Good Housekeeping’s deputy editor, who covers all-things parenting. “They're chunky figures made for little hands.” And now, there's a Barbie version, too.
The Amazon Exclusive advent calendar includes 24 pieces: six chunky Little People figurines and 18 accessories for imaginative play. And these aren’t just random trinkets to collect. Festive details like a Barbie pink Christmas tree with a bow topper, wreaths, stockings, and a kitty wearing a Santa hat add to the holiday spirit, while play pieces like a skateboard, couch, and snow slope give kids plenty to do with their new figures. An Amazon shopper shared that their daughter played with her set all year long.
We also like that this set comes with a “holiday memento,” which is basically a kid-friendly ornament, so they can hang something on the family’s Christmas tree.
Since they’ll add a new piece to their collection each day, you’ll watch their creativity run wild as Christmas creeps closer. The Barbie Advent Calendar is deemed suitable for ages 18 months and up, you’ll have some peace of mind as your kiddos enjoy their set.
Honestly, with all the toys for the $33 price tag, we think this one’s worth it!
