Color-In Advent Calendars

Usborne's Festive Countdown is Styled Like a Christmas Coloring Book

For the holidays, Usborne Publishing is offering the 'Advent Calendar to Colour,' which is set up like a Christmas coloring book.

The unique fold-out calendar is designed to provide a daily design that can be colored in, including illustrated streetscapes and friendly mice inhabiting the decorated holiday homes. When not folded flat like a book, the entire calendar can be configured to stand and create a festive Christmas display.

Over the last few Christmas seasons, advent calendars have been made with a focus on adults and their niche interests. This one puts a fun spin on chocolate-filled advent calendars that are traditionally offered to children, while also offering a festive activity to occupy them each day in December until the arrival of Christmas Day.
