Product Description
This 3D German advent calendar depicts the bakery of the Christmas elves, the Nisse (tomtes) nestled in a snow covered village. Children admire the bakery windows filled with mouthwatering Christmas delights, while the Nisse sneak away in the night; their reindeer driven sleigh piled so high it is overflowing. A Nisse runs behind with a last minute addition to the already overladen cart.
Features a two piece free standing 3D design.
The detailed picture has 24 little doors to open, illuminating the wintry scene. Each door has a little picture behind it where you can learn about the Nisse and the animals that keep them company. The tradition is to open one door each day from December 1 thru December 24. Children love to open a door a day as they count down to Christmas.
