Setup Instructions
- Unboxing the Advent Calendar: Carefully open the outer packaging of the advent calendar box. The box features numbered doors, corresponding to the days leading up to Christmas.
- Daily Reveal: Starting from December 1st, open the door corresponding to the current date. Each door will reveal a small bag of building blocks and a set of instructions for that day's model.
- Building Options: This set provides two primary building options:
- 24 Small Models: Follow the instructions provided with each daily reveal to build 24 individual, smaller Christmas-themed models.
- 6 Larger Models: Alternatively, you can collect the pieces from specific days to rebuild them into 6 larger miniature models. These larger models can then be combined to form a grander Christmas scene, such as a large Christmas shop, Santa, Christmas Train, or Christmas Tree.
- Instruction Guidance: Each box contains individually two-sided building instructions. To build the 24 individual models, follow the instructions on the front side for each model. To rebuild into the larger models, follow the instructions on the back side of the 6 models' instructions.
- Important Note: The set is designed to build either the 24 small models OR the 6 larger models, but not both simultaneously with the same pieces.

Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity of your building block set.
- Cleaning: To clean the blocks, gently wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the plastic. Ensure blocks are completely dry before storage.
- Storage: Store the building blocks and completed models in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. The original advent calendar box or a dedicated storage container is recommended to keep all pieces organized and prevent loss.
- Handling: Handle small parts with care to prevent breakage or loss. Keep the set away from pets and very young children to avoid choking hazards.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Pieces: If you discover any missing pieces, please contact customer support with details of the specific model and the missing part.
- Difficulty Assembling: If a piece does not fit, double-check the instructions to ensure you are using the correct part and that it is oriented correctly. Sometimes, a slight adjustment in angle or pressure is needed.
- Models Falling Apart: Ensure all connections are firmly pressed together. If a model is consistently unstable, re-examine the assembly steps for any overlooked connections.
