WINTER WOODLAND REUSABLE WOODEN ADVENT CALENDAR

⭐Welcome, one and all, to the Winter Woodland! Join the extended family of woodland creatures who are getting ready for Christmas Day by constructing this Advent Calendar throughout December!⭐

This beautiful woodland scene is the perfect Advent Calendar for Christmas 2022! Every piece is made from sustainably sourced, 4mm maple wood, each featuring a charming little illustration of the woodland creatures and their festive scene!
I hand draw, print and laser cut the wood myself, and am so so proud of this little calendar. The designs are printed using UV technology, which seals the ink and creates beautiful, vibrant colours that are durable and designed to last for years to come.

For previous buyers - this calendar now comes on pop out sheets! It's still provided in the same display box, but pieces 1-25 are on sheets of wood ready to pop out and use. Smaller pieces can be popped out easier using a capped pen or the rubber end of a pencil :)

The base piece measures 26cm x 15cm and has 24 slots in it, each marked with a printed number. Each piece's back is engraved with the corresponding number, so the calendar is super easy to assemble; just slot the piece into the correct slot and it stands freely on it's own! There are 26 pieces included in this kit, including the base, and a final little star to top the Christmas tree on day 25 :)

The largest advent piece is the main Christmas tree, which measures 13cm tall, and the smallest is a little toadstool, which measures only 1.3cm tall.

The calendar is sent out in a presentation box so that all the pieces can be kept neatly for years to come; no searching for missing pieces next Christmas! This fits inside a large letter box, meaning it can be posted straight through your door.

PLEASE NOTE: Although this advent calendar has been designed for all the family to enjoy, it is not to be used by children without adult supervision. Small pieces may be a choking hazard, and although maple is a strong wood, pieces should be treated with care to ensure they don't snap or scratch.
Please be aware that as wood is a natural product, each set will be totally individual and have a different grain to it. Depending on the depth of the grain, some pieces may have visible markings; this adds to the character of the piece!
Wood thickness can vary slightly from batch to batch, which may mean your calendar pieces have some wiggle room once slotted in to the base. Don't worry, they are designed not to fall over! They will still stand up straight and will be easy to disassemble ready for next Christmas. If any pieces are a little difficult to remove, just give them a gentle wiggle to ease them out of the slot.

How to take care of your Advent Calendar:

- If you need to clean any of the pieces, please wipe them down with a damp cloth.
- Submerging the pieces in water may cause the wood to swell and potentially split, so please don't expose the walnut to excessive liquid!
- Place your advent calendar somewhere safe where pets and small children won't be able to get to it unsupervised.
- Some pieces have small details; to avoid the risk of snapping these, press them into the slots by the base, rather than the thinner sections.
- When you are ready to take your calendar down, store it back in the presentation box, separating the pieces into layers with the paper provided to avoid pieces scratching against each other.


Shipped out in totally recyclable packaging, this calendar is the perfect way to add a little more festive magic to your home!

This advent calendar would be perfect for anyone who is obsessed with all things Christmas!

We are so lucky to live on such a beautiful and interesting planet, and I’m trying to do my bit to help her stay beautiful and interesting for all future generations. All my orders are sent out in minimal, and wherever possible, recyclable and sustainable packaging. Dapple & Dot’s paper stocks are sourced from fast growing, sustainable bamboo crop, and wooden products are made of wood harvested from sustainably maintained forests.

5% of all Dapple & Dot’s profits go straight to JUST ONE Tree. JUST ONE Tree is a non-profit initiative removing CO2 from the atmosphere and reversing biodiversity loss through global reforestation. They plant trees in areas severely affected by deforestation to maximise the effect on reducing global warming. In the process they help to provide agricultural education and sustainable incomes to local communities.
But they don’t stop there. JUST ONE Tree concentrates on restoring the entire ecosystem by planting on land and in the oceans, and they also focus on helping to shape the next generation of planet-conscious thinkers by bringing environmental education into the classrooms with lesson plans and JUST ONE Tree Day.
