We've really enjoyed this purchase! The craft kits are much better quality than I expected! They've turned out adorable. My great nieces mostly seem to enjoy opening them and I'm hiding other treats in the house. It wasn't hard for usto put together but some joints were tight to snap in. We didn't even read the instructions first. The kit comes with extra supplies for the crafts that you can store under the roof in their bag on top of the drawers.

This is a great deal! The house is hard to snap together but once you figure it out, a bit smoother. The crafts do fit, roll some corners and use the archway to slide them in, easy peasy. The wood is solid and will last a long time. Perfect for littles who love spooky,'this will be something they can play with year round!

Just put this together! I'm impressed with the quality of this entire set so far. It's higher quality than I expected for the price. The craft packages are big for the drawers but can be folded to fit as the instructions indicate. I choose to leave mine sticking out of the drawers. Yes, it did take thought and effort but the assembly was not excessive for the high quality. I will reuse this. I'm getting a second one!

Thought “oh 13 days of crafts for $10 what a deal”. Little did I know it was an hour long craft for me to put the house itself together to even get us started. With that being said the houses are actual wood and although you have to use some force to put it together it is higher quality and well worth the $10. My boys are loving it.

I was a little hesitant after reading the negative reviews, but it was so much fun unboxing and putting the haunted house together. Yes, we did end up helping the kids assemble the haunted house to ensure a tight fit, but it's already pre-painted and didn't require any nails or screws. It's formatted to fit like puzzle pieces. I don't understand the complaints about not having instructions. There is definitely a double sided instruction sheet with colored diagrams and detailed steps for the house and assembling the little foldable drawers, which already had self adhesive stickers on them. We just folded along the lines and stuck the edges with the adhesive stickers together. There's also a QR code if you want to watch the video, but it's not necessary. The craft bags are all labelled 1-13 and it tells you which drawers they go in and with some adjusting we got it to all fit in. The kids did only day 1 of the advent calendar so far, but the pouch had its separate instruction diagram listing which craft supplies to use from the kit included. I don't know if people just missed looking through everything or got ahead of themselves when unpacking all the items, but it wasn't that hard. I think the advent calendar is geared more towards kindergarten and up. It's a fun activity to do with a grown up. We plan on reusing the advent haunted house by using our own little Halloween themed surprises for next year.

I was hoping this would be a great advent calendar for my 3.5 yr old but after looking at the sneak peek it seems its for older kids. He was very excited to help me put it together (which was not as easy as the video seems, also the bottom piece wasnt cut properly so the sides arent able to be connected at the bottom as needed) . hopefully he can do more crafts than not.

I'm pretty good at things like this so I know it's not user error, some pieces were cut badly so they didn't fit properly. Two pieces the edges were a tiny bit long, not for a tight fit, just plain too long so I cut the tip a tiny bit and they fit snuggly then. Frustrating. Not difficult to put together if it had been cut properly. The bags are also tricky to fit in the drawers but doable. You'd think they could have just made the drawers slightly bigger but over all my kid loves it.

It's clear your company does not have quality control. Sure, the image and some review photos have the correct cuts. I bought this in August. The cuts on the photo and instructions do NOT match the cuts on the product. The 1st and 2nd floor have no cuts to snap into the front under the windows as shown in images. The 2nd floor cuts on the side walls do NOT match up with the 2nd floor. So my options are to not have the ADVENT part of the ADVENT CALENDAR, or return it. Either way that disappoints my kids, thanks. Fix this.

It's cute, caught my eye since we love to do crafts with our 3.5 year old but I'd suggest you pass on this even if it is $10. They give you a video to watch because they know it's hard to put Together why can't they just fix the issue. The bags don't fit in the boxes and after opening a few of them their not meant to be bent since it would ruin most of the crafts. Some of the crafts on their own are hard to put together for example number 4 after you paint it it can't be put together i ended up breaking it on accident just trying to get it all to stay in place I doubt it could be put to together before paining it.

I understand this is an artistic activity for the children, but I did not expect assembling the house and all the drawers to be included. The process felt frustrating, and nothing fits inside the boxes either. Granted we haven't done any of the activities yet so hopefully that will make me feel better about buying .
