Christmas Train Advent Calendar – 24 Days of Educational Building Fun
Make the countdown to Christmas a hands-on learning experience with this Christmas Train Advent Calendar. Each day, children discover new building-block surprises that gradually come together to create a colorful holiday train by December 24.
Designed for children ages 6 up this festive building activity combines the excitement of an Advent calendar with opportunities to practice STEM skills, problem-solving, spatial reasoning, fine-motor coordination, sequencing, and following directions.
Build a Christmas Train
Throughout the 24-day countdown, children assemble different parts of their Christmas train, including a locomotive, carriages, and festive decorations. Watching the project grow day by day provides a fun introduction to completing a larger construction project through smaller, manageable steps.
