Bluey and Bingo in Christmas jumpers, a buildable mini tree and a pile of small extras. What preschoolers find behind the windows, and what to know first.

Verdict

Yes, for a preschooler who watches Bluey every day. The figures are characters they already know by name, and the mini tree turns the month into a small scene [1]. Skip it if they want a figure every morning; most windows hold accessories and stickers.

Bingo, Bluey and a mini tree

This is the official calendar for the show. Behind the windows are Bluey and Bingo in Christmas jumpers, a Bartlebee figure, sixteen holiday accessories and five stickers [1].

There is also a buildable Christmas tree. Kids put the figures and the small gifts under it, so the scene grows all month [1].

The listing calls it a classic Aussie Christmas, which fits the show: summer Christmas jumpers and a tiny tree, not snowmen. Fans notice that kind of detail.

Pretend play the Bluey way

Bluey is a show about playing, and preschoolers copy it. Once the figures are out, they act out episodes on the kitchen table, and the accessories become props.

The listing rates it for fans aged 3 and up and pitches it as imaginative play [1]. Small hands can open the windows without help, which matters at seven in the morning.

Parents get a break too. A preschooler with three figures and a tree can play for half an hour on their own, which is more than most chocolate calendars buy you.

Three figures, many small extras

Be honest with yourself about the mix. There are three figures, and the rest is accessories and stickers [1]. A child expecting a new character every morning may ask where Mum and Dad are.

Tell them it is a Christmas scene that builds up, not a figure collection, and the calendar lands much better.

A first calendar for little kids

For a first advent calendar it is cheap, cheerful and chocolate free. An older sibling can get the Hot Wheels Advent Calendar so both open a toy at breakfast.

If you want a calendar that comes back every year, the Melissa & Doug Countdown to Christmas Wooden Advent Calendar is the reusable choice in the same guide.

Hand it over at the end of November and help with the first window. After that, most preschoolers run it themselves, and the tree gives the figures a home.

FAQ

What is in the Bluey Advent Calendar?

The listing names Bluey, Bingo and Bartlebee figures, with Bluey and Bingo in Christmas jumpers, plus sixteen holiday accessories, five stickers and a buildable mini Christmas tree [1]. Everything goes under the tree as a little holiday scene by Christmas Eve [1]

What age is the Bluey Advent Calendar for?

Amazon lists it for Bluey fans aged 3 and up, and one line mentions kids 5 to 8 [1]. In practice it suits preschoolers and early grade schoolers who still play with figures. Older kids who have moved on from the show will find it young [1]

Is the Bluey Advent Calendar worth it?

For a Bluey fan, yes. It costs less than most character calendars and every piece joins pretend play instead of the trash [1]. If the child mainly wants figures, buying a Bluey figure pack instead gives more characters for the money [1]
