The kids had a great time making this during advent. We kept it intact and set up the village for the last couple of years to play with. The quality is first rate.

This was such a cute kit for our little builder, way more exciting than a chocolate calendar ;)

My 6 year old grandson loved building this to set up around his older brothers train. The 2 kits worked fantastically together and they are really enjoying these kits.

Great set. My 4 year old looks forward to opening the day's building pack as soon as he wakes up. I am securing the pieces with hot glue, though.
