The \u003cstrong\u003eLittle Dutch Advent Train Track\u003c\/strong\u003e works the other way around. Each of the 24 doors holds a piece of a wooden train set, and by Christmas morning your child has built the whole railway themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt turns the countdown into something they do rather than something they eat, and the finished track carries on being played with right through the year. Next December, it goes back in the box and starts again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable from 2 years.

There is a reason to get out of bed in December, and it takes about three minutes rather than the whole morning. Parents tend to like that it produces a real toy at the end instead of a fortnight of sugar before breakfast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other thing worth knowing: because the pieces arrive one at a time, children build an attachment to the set that they would not get from unwrapping it all at once.
