The holiday season is officially upon us, and for those STEM-loving kids in your life, these two Advent calendars make every day in December feel like a trip to the lab. If you’re looking to swap out the traditional chocolate treats for something a bit more brain-boosting, these picks from Thames & Kosmos are the perfect way to count down to the holidays!
The Thames & Kosmos Science Advent Calendar (Vol. 3)
Why settle for one gift when you can conduct 24 different experiments? This calendar turns your December into a month-long science fair. Each day, you open a new box to reveal specialized equipment or materials along with a set of instructions.
By the time the big day arrives, you’ll have explored a wide range of scientific disciplines, making it a fantastic way to build up a mini-lab and keep your brain sharp during the winter break. It’s hands-on, educational, and—most importantly—incredibly fun.
EXIT: The Game — Advent Calendar: The Intergalactic Race
For those who prefer a mental challenge, the EXIT: The Game series has returned with a cosmic twist. This isn’t just an advent calendar; it’s an immersive adventure story and a high-stakes puzzle game rolled into one.
In The Intergalactic Race, you’ll follow a gripping storyline that unfolds over 24 days. Each day presents a new riddle that you must solve to progress to the next stage of the story. You’ll need to follow the clues and use your best deductive reasoning to outsmart your opponents and make it onto the winner’s podium by Christmas Eve. It’s the ultimate holiday test for the escape-room enthusiast!
From chemical reactions to cosmic riddles, these calendars prove that the holiday season is the perfect time to experiment, explore, and excel.
