Dapple & Dot | Reusable Wooden Advent Calendar | Woodland Animals
This beautiful woodland scene is the perfect Advent Calendar for Christmas! Every piece is made from sustainably sourced 4mm wood, each featuring a charming little illustration of the woodland creatures and their festive scene! Please note that the wood for this advent calendar has now changed from the dark wood in the photos to a lighter wood which is more eco-friendly and holds the ink better!
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.
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.
