Move Over, Hollow Chocolate — These Lego Advent Calendars Are What Your Kid Actually Wants

My family never did Advent calendars when I was growing up, and I didn't think I was missing anything by not getting a piece of milk chocolate every day with the popping of a perforated cardboard window. But had I been privy to the knowledge of a Lego calendar that would allow me to build something small each day, I would have given the 'rents a tough time for sure. Forget the chocolate squares — these three Lego Advent calendars will eliminate the daily sugar high and give your kids something fun and productive to do every day (hopefully giving you a few minutes of much-needed me time).

See the three Lego themes available for 2018 ahead (and don't worry, we're thinking the same thing as you: it's going to be a true exercise of willpower to not pop open and build a few of these ourselves after our kids are in bed).
