Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is minimal; simply display the advent calendar in a cool, dry area where the child can easily reach the current day's box. Before starting the December countdown, it is advisable to keep a small "science kit" of common household supplies nearby, such as a cup of water, a spoon, paper towels, and a basic workspace cover. While the components provided are safe, children should be supervised to ensure they follow instructions correctly. After each experiment, ensure all small pieces are stored or disposed of properly, and wipe down the workspace to prevent any accidental staining or mess. Store the calendar away from heat and direct sunlight to ensure the materials inside remain in good condition until opened.
