This German advent calendar Christmas card shows an beautifully drawn picture of classic fairy tale characters and animals gathering at the foothills of a castle on a hill. Children will enjoy finding the characters in the detailed scene which include: the Bremen town musicians, Hansel & Gretel, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Puss in Boots, Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, the man with the Golden Goose and more!
The tradition of the advent calendar dates back to 1851 in the Protestant parts of Germany. The first advent calendar with little doors was printed in the early 1900's and continues today.
This calendar was printed in Germany, by the Korsch-Verlag Co., near Munich. Founded by Adolf Korsch Verlag in 1951. Carefully selected motifs have been published every year, imaginatively down to the smallest detail, exclusively and lovingly illustrated by the artist's hand, accompanying you through the most beautiful time of the year.
The detailed picture has 24 little doors to open. Each door has a little picture behind it. 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.
Does Not come with candy or chocolate. Glitter Accents.
Christmas card comes with envelope, blank inside
