Description
This wooden advent calendar is a reusable Christmas countdown you move along by hand. In the Santa Stairs design, a little Santa climbs one numbered step each day up a 24-step wooden staircase until he reaches the Christmas tree at the top on Christmas Eve. There are also two other designs: a Santa village scene with a sliding red truck, and a simple star bar.
There is nothing to fill and nothing to throw away, so the same calendar comes out every December. Kids love moving the marker each morning, and the natural wood looks good on a mantel, bookshelf, hall table or windowsill. The stairs can lean against a stack of books or a wall, so it fits even a small space.

How Does a Santa Stairs Advent Calendar Work?
Stand the staircase on a flat surface and lean the top end against a stack of books, a wall or a shelf. On 1 December, put Santa on step 1. Each morning, move him up one step. On 24 December he reaches the top step beside the tree, ready for Christmas Day.
Ideas for Using Your Wooden Countdown
Pair it with a small treat or a family activity for each day, such as baking, writing a card or watching a Christmas movie. It also makes a thoughtful gift for grandparents, teachers or a new family celebrating their first Christmas in a new home.
Care and Safety
Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth and store in a dry place after Christmas. Keep away from candles, heaters and open flames. It is a decoration rather than a toy, and the small figures and markers should be kept away from children under 3.
