Honestly for a 30 dollar advent calendar im used to way worse, this is actually one that has okay quality and good items for kids to play with instead of stickers, magnets and buttons for 30+ dollars. Really been some time since i saw a good review of those „cheap“ kids advent calendar that was worth the price and would be an actual recommendation.

I think it’s important to remember that this is based off the Frozen short “Olafs Frozen Adventure” which follows Olaf taking Sven around finding different traditions at Christmas as Anna and Elsa don’t have any (hence why Kristof didn’t make an appearance - he’s not a prominent character in the short) I love that they included the beautiful ice tree and the star. I always get so emotional watching that scene 🥹 overall I think it’s a fabulous calendar! I don’t think any of my barbie or Bratz accessories had specific paint jobs either from memory.

This is a kinetic sand play set. All of the toys are to play with the sand, especially the accessories, that’s why they don’t have painted details. Maybe I’m guessing wrong, but as someone who played with all sorts of toys that is what I think. If you look at the figurines they do not have painted details on their feet, only molded ones, because they would be walking through the snow/sand. However, the cake, frosted or chocolate covered strawberries, hot cocoa, and cupcakes, are meant to be played with the sand and kids could cover them like frosting. The lanterns could be covered with frost or snow. The seat, I don’t think it is a bed, is for them to sit on and it looks like there are even cup holders. Yes, the carrots and bread would be better with painted details, but I think the plan was kids could be getting all the accessories covered in the sand. Obviously, it is cheaper to not have painted details, but if they did the paint would be more likely to chip after using the sand. You can’t not have painted figurines. The sand won’t stick to the accessories this way like they would the painted details, either. So cleanup is a lot easier. For kids this is a really neat playable set. I bet kids would love that. As an artist of any age I would love it; skip the sand, and paint details on most of the accessories. Then use the sand stamps with paint, inks, or markers to decorate Christmas cards. Biggest issue is no Kristoff. How can they have Sven without Kristoff?
@bobbysmith809519 күн бұрын
Also maybe remove some plastic toy (choking hazard since some are so small) and just give more sand like why 1 bag only? Could have 3 bag, red, white, and green and less plastic toy and way more fun that way plus Kristoff.
@LisaMarieFord19 күн бұрын
@ This set is recommended for age 3 and up I believe. Kinetic Sand is recommended for ages 4 and up, if I remember correctly. So younger kids should not be getting or playing with this set either way. Kids 4 and up should be old enough to not eat their toys, but that would be up to the parents to determine with their kids. I can see why they didn’t give more colors of sand for two reasons. Honestly, I’m surprised when sets do, because of mixing the colors together. Since this is a Frozen set any other color than white would be out of place. Frozen = snow. You don’t want yellow snow, red, or any other color. And kids would be the first one to make jokes about other colored snow. 😆 Think what scenes a kid like Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes) would make with such a play set. For me, even when I was a kid, more toys equals more fun and playtime, plus versatility. Of course, I didn’t like slime or any of the messy stuff with my toys. I’d have wanted Kristoff instead of the sand. They could have traded the lanterns or the seat for Kristoff to fit in the box. It is just so strange to not have included him.
@mummaP1920 күн бұрын
If it was targeting adults or teens, I'd say you have every right to be frustrated. But you also acknowledge that this is more for kids. I have a friend whose 5 year old would love this. She's be over the moon. It's all perspective I guess. I'm with you, alot of the little food items were likely 3d printed and I know 3d printers can do multiple colours and details. So it feels lazy. But the kids would love this and that's who this is really for.

A suggestion, have a Lost Cauldron Advent calendar. Have it where you currate it with different items from your shop. For example, you sell candles, so a few of the doors in the calendar could have mini versions of some candles. If you sell soaps, do travel size soaps to put into the calendar. You could include pen wands, Lost Cauldron pin badges, fridge magnets etc Then along with the finale item for the last day, you could also include a code that gives a discount on a future purchase from your shop. Either in store or online Would be a great way to promote some of your products that you offer in your shop

They are molded really well so painting them would be easily done. There's been ones that have almost no detail, these are pretty nice to be fair.

I love love love these advent calendar videos, but I almost feel like you need 3 camera angles. One that’s looking directly at you like normal, one that’s looking down at the desk like normal but then a third off to your right side that’s making up the scene (if there’s a scene to be made) or if it’s a beauty one you can show how you’re arranging them on a display off to your side? So all that camera would see are the items and then your hand when you’re placing the next item there. That way we can watch the advent calendar items grow off to one side! Just and idea 🫶🏼💕
