Using an advent calendar is a fun way to count down to Christmas. It makes the days leading up to the holiday feel more festive, and, of course, when little dinosaur gifts are involved, it brings joy to dinosaur-loving boys and girls of all ages.
The popular use of advent calendars began in Germany in the 19th century. The (German-based, coincidentally) supermarket chain Aldi offers a variety of popular calendars each year, and to mark the release date, Aldi has designated November 3rd to be Advent Calendar Day.
Popular advent calendars offered by Aldi include their wine, cheese, and beer calendars. You'll have to look elsewhere for dinosaur themed calendars, but there are several from which to choose! Continue reading for a great sampling of the dinosaur-themed advent calendars you can buy.
