Let the festive anticipation be full of science! With this Thames & Kosmos scientific Advent calendar, every day until Christmas will turn into an exciting discovery. Forget the chocolates - behind each of the 24 boxes there is a new tool or material and instructions for a different fun science experiment!

This is a great way to combine a favorite holiday tradition with hands-on learning. Each day, children will open a beautifully illustrated box, which will unfold to turn into a small instruction book with step-by-step instructions and scientific explanations. The experiments are quick, easy to do and cover a variety of science topics – chemistry, biology and physics. Most experiments will require only a few additional items commonly found at home.

• 24 days – 24 discoveries: Every day, children open a new box, where they find tools and instructions for a different science experiment.

• Science every day: The experiments cover a variety of science topics related to chemistry, biology and physics.

• Simple and quick: The experiments can be done quickly, and you will only need items that are usually found in every home.

• A different holiday tradition: This is a fun and engaging way to combine a classic holiday tradition with hands-on learning.

What do children learn?

• Fundamentals of the scientific method: Through daily experiments, children learn to follow instructions, observe processes, draw conclusions, and understand cause-and-effect relationships.

• Curiosity and desire to explore: A daily dose of innovation encourages exploration, curiosity, and asking "why?", thus developing natural curiosity.

• Daily concentration and consistency: the need to complete a small task every day develops patience, discipline and the ability to finish the work started.

• Knowledge of various scientific fields: A wide range of experiments (chemistry, physics, biology) introduces the child to different branches of science.

Who is this toy especially suitable for?

• As a smart and engaging alternative to traditional Advent calendars.

• For curious children who love experiments and are constantly interested in how the world works.

• To make the Christmas waiting period not only festive, but also meaningful and educational.
