**I have updated this post for Christmas 2018. Find all the latest and greatest right here for toy Advent calendars for kids and adults.
Toy advent calendars are great for kids when it comes to counting the days down to Christmas. It can be a fun tradition to check out the calendar every morning and you can work in some sort of lesson or fun fact about Christmas as well.
In our house we have had a few different toy advent calendars and my kids have enjoyed every one of them. There actually are so many different advent calendars that you can choose from that feature all different types of toys for kids.
Check out some the best toy advent calendars for kids for the year 2016. There are ones for boys, girls, and ones that work for any child.
The Best LEGO Toy Advent Calendars
One of the most popular types of advent calendars for kids are LEGO toy ones. In fact, adults love them as well.

Be sure to check out some of the more popular Lego Advent calendars including the new LEGO city Advent calendar for 2018 as well as the new LEGO Friends Advent Calendar for 2017.
The nice thing about these advent calendars is that you can re-use the pieces year after year to make your own Christmas sets and scenes. They don’t have any specific dates that would make them only for one year. There are new calendars that come out every year, but you can use the ones from previous years as well. This allows you to save some money as you can even use the pieces with a homemade calendar the next year.
Playmobil Advent Calendars
Another great option for a toy advent calendar for your child is the Playmobil advent calendar. Just like the LEGO ones, they have different scenes and designs for the calendars to choose from.
There are some people who like the Playmobil ones better than the LEGO ones because you also get a backdrop with the advent calendar and they are usually cheaper as well.
These calendars have a backdrop along with other parts of the scene that you build and then have 24 special little toys that you add for every day up to Christmas.
Here are a few different Playmobil advent calendars to choose from.
PLAYMOBIL Santa’s Workshop Advent Calendar
PLAYMOBIL Advent Calendar ‘Dress Up Party’ Playset
PLAYMOBIL Advent Calendar ‘Christmas on the Farm’ Playset
Playmobil Advent Calendar Forest Winter Wonderland

More Toy Advent Calendars
Here are some more toy advent calendars that kids would love to have this holiday season including the new Monster High advent calendar as well as the new Thomas the Train Advent calendar.
Tsum Tsum Countdown to Christmas Advent Calendar – 2017 Version
This is the all new 2017 Tsum Tsum advent calendar featuring all kinds of fun Disney characters getting ready for the holidays.
Our family had the Tsum Tsum Christmas countdown calendar last year and really enjoyed all the characters and accessories that they got to open each day. This new calendar is definitely going on our list this year for a must-have toy advent calendar.
The Tsum Tsum figures come in different sizes from small to large as well (you get 18 total figures) as other fun accessories such as a sleigh and cute headpieces. Some of the characters in this year’s advent calendar for kids include Sven from Frozen, Rapunzel, Joy from Inside Out, Stitch, and of course Mickey Mouse.
The neat thing about this set is that my daughters still play with the Tsum Tsum characters all year long and add them to their collection.
More New Kid’s Advent Calendars For 2017
I came across a few more new toy Advent calendars for Christmas 2017. It seems like now companies are putting out new and unique calendars for all the popular toys each year.
Tsum Tsum Marvel Advent Calendar
This Christmas countdown calendar features all your favorite Marvel Tsum Tsum characters including Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, Nick Fury, Captain America, Loki, and much more.
It includes 18 stackable Tsum Tsum Marvel figures of all sizes as well as 6 accessories to go with them.
This would be perfect for any little boy or girl who is obsessed with the Marvel super hereos as these Tsum Tsums can be added to the toy box and played with all year long. I know that my boys, even the older one still enjoys playing with his super hero Tsum Tsums.
Frozen Olaf’s Adventure Advent Calendar
This would be top choice for any child who loves Disney’s Frozen or is just a fan of silly Olaf. This countdown set is based off the new holiday short film called Olaf’s Frozen Adventure
This calendar is slightly different than some of the others as there are actually 25 days to open, which means you get 25 toys inside as well. That means your child even gets to open a new window on Christmas morning to complete their set.
There are several different Olaf figures included in the set as well as other accessories like a sleigh, Christmas tree, and cake.
Check out some more of the children’s Advent calendars below as well.
Fisher Price Little People Advent Calendar
If you have a younger child, this may just be the best toy advent calendar for toddlers. Little People figures are perfect for small hands and with this set you’ll find even 1 year olds can get into the celebration of counting down to Christmas.
The set comes with 24 Little People figures and accessories including Santa and Mrs. Clause and even an adorable cat and dog waiting to have some winter fun.
This kid’s advent calendar could even be a good way to introduce counting and numbers as well as celebrate the holidays.
Barbie Advent Calendars
There are actually a few different Barbie toy advent calendars. Barbie usually comes out with a new and fun calendar each Christmas season, but you can also use the past calendars because they don’t have any specific dates on the calendar. Pick which one you think your child would like best.
The Barbie Careers Advent Calendar is new for 2017 and gets a great recommendation from me.
Barbie Careers Advent Calendar for 2017
What is different this year is that the calendar actually comes with a Barbie doll on the first day that can be used for all the clothing and accessories you get from the calendar. This is a big improvement as the other calendars do not come with a doll and you have to use your own.
Here are a few more Barbie countdown to Christmas calendars that don’t come with the actual doll but can be bought for a cheaper price than the new one above.
Each of the Barbie advent calendars comes with 24 different accessories for Barbie including shoes, clothes, and jewelry. It also comes with some fun accessories for the child such as a Barbie bracelet and hair accessories.
You could even buy a new Barbie doll to go along with the calendar so your child can have a new doll to dress up with all the fun items she gets in the calendar.
Thomas and Friends Minis Advent Calendar
This is one of the best selling toy advent calendars and is perfect for any child who loves Thomas the Train or trains in general. These are the Mini Thomas figures that you can buy in sets or blind bags all set into a fun train themed calendar.
Unlike some other toy advent calendars for kids you actually get 24 of the mini train figures. The calendar works great as a fun backdrop for a winter scene on Sodor Island as your child can line up all the trains ready to celebrate the holiday together.
Crayola Christmas Countdown Calendar For Kids
Celebrate your child’s creative side with this fun art calendar set.
There is over 24 different pieces that you get with this calendar including 2 model magic ornaments you can make as well as other ornaments and even Christmas finger puppets.
There is also gift tags, a letter to Santa for your child to write and more art accessories including crayons, markers, and paint to help your child decorate all their stuff.
What I like about this kids advent calendar set is that it encourages different activities that they can do for the holiday instead of just opening up a window and finding a toy.
Mega Bloks Toy Advent Calendars
Mega Bloks has also gotten into the holiday spirit and they have released a few different countdown calendars including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Minions, and Monster High.
They each come with different building pieces so kids can build their own holiday scene with their favorite characters.
You can build a cool Turtles Christmas scene or maybe your child wants a fun Minions holiday party instead.
