Online Advent Calendars

In this digital age Advent calendars aren't only physical. Here is a selection of online Advent calendars for you to share with your child. Sorry, no chocolate involved ;)

If you want to learn about other countries and how they celebrate Christmas, have a look at this one from Project Britain. Check out Day 6 if you are exploring with Picture Book Explorers ~ The Best Christmas Present in the World

If you want ideas and inspiration for outdoor activities take a look at this advent calendar from Nature Detectives. Day 9 fits will help with one of the activities in Picture Book Explorers ~ The Best Christmas Present in the World

For an advent calendar that reveals items relating to the First World War, check out this one from The Liverpool Museums. Day 15 is particularly relevant to Picture Book Explorers ~ The Best Christmas Present in the World

For younger children, you might like to try this cute interactive one from Poisson Rouge that will help with mouse control skills or this one from CBeebies which offers different types of games every day.

Older children may enjoy Christmas themed games and puzzles at Santa Games.

Activity Village offer a daily printable colouring sheet - this year's theme is a Christmas train :)

If you want an advent calendar that focuses on the religious aspect of the season, have a look at this one from the Jam Trust in Scotland that gives Bible verses, carols and facts about Christmas traditions.

And, if all else fails, you can even make your own online advent calendar for free at Adventios....I'm book marking this for next year :)
